Imagine shaved ice snow in flavors like peanut butter cup, strawberry cheesecake, Mexican candy, and Thai tea snow. And that’s just the beginning! Shaved ice can be crafted into any flavor you can imagine.

You can certainly attempt to make these fabulous, flavored shaved ice treats on your own. But, few specialty shops know the secrets to successfully craft these frozen treats.
Shaved ice desserts are popular all over the world. From Iranian Faloodeh to Peruvian Shikashika, sweet, frozen, snowy treats have been on the menu for centuries. In fact, faloodeh may be the oldest known frozen desert in the world, dating all the way back to the 4th century B.C.! Faloodeh is often flavored with rosewater, as well as lime juice, saffron, and sweetened with sugar.
While the ancients had to go to great lengths to obtain ice during the summer, today, ice is easily accessible. Sweet, snowy deserts are readily available on the go across the country. Next time you’re craving ice cream, try a light, a low-calorie shaved ice treat instead.
