Ingredients

Scale

For the Shaved Ice:

  • 4 cups ice

For the Coconut Topping: (see note for options)

  • 2 tbsp sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the topping. Whisk together the condensed milk with the coconut milk and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Shave the ice. Using a blender, food processor, or ice shaving machine, shave the ice until similar to snow in consistency.
  3. Serve. Fill cups with the shaved ice before pouring the coconut mix over top.

Notes

  • Tip: for a super smooth and creamy coconut topping, whip the coconut milk and condensed coconut milk with an immersion blender before combining.
  • Shaved ice will adopt whatever flavor you pour over it. Get creative with your favorite flavors and use what is available to you. Scroll up for ideas.
