Each combination/"recipe" gives amount to fill 1 plastic "ice mold" cup.
You can fill about 7-ounces up to the "fill-line" on each cup.

S'Mores Shave Ice

  • 7 ounces chocolate milk for each filling each puck
  • graham cracker crumbs
  • marshmallow sundae sauce
  • toasted marshmallows optional garnish

Sweet Creamy Espresso Shave Ice - mix well before freezing

  • 1 shot (1 oz) espresso
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 ounces milk

Un-Sweetened Creamy Espresso Shave Ice

  • 1 shot (1 oz) espresso
  • 6 ounces milk

Cold Brew Cloud

  • 3.5 ounces cold brew coffee
  • 3.5 ounces milk

Vanilla Cream - mix well before freezing

  • 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 ounces milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fluffy Banana Freeze

  • 1-2 ripe bananas smush in ice cup up to fill-line with fork

Cosmo Blizzard (cocktail) - see below for alcohol ingredients & info.

  • 7 ounces cranberry juice such as Ocean Spray type

Basic Fruit Syrup (for topping shave ice)(this recipe from KitchenAid)

  • 2.5 cups (400g) fruit
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (130g) sugar
  • 1 pinch (0.9g) salt
  • 30 ml juice of 1 lemon or lime - unless making citrus flavor

Fresh Watermelon with Tajin Seasoning

  • fresh watermelon cubes, pulsed with chopper to break it down a bit, doesn't need to be completely pureed. I put mine through a fine strainer, picked out any big seeds and put the pulp back in with the juice. Stirred it up and poured into ice molds.
  • Tajin* Seasoning and lime wedges for topping if desired

Hard Cider

  • 7 ounces apple juice for filling each cup Shave into glass
  • hard cider to pour over apple shave ice
  • garnish with apple slices and cinnamon sticks optional

Caramel Apple Dirty Soda - If desired drizzle inside of glass with caramel syrup before shaving ice

  • 7 ounces apple juice for filling each cup Shave into glass
  • Dr. Pepper or Ginger Ale Soda for pouring over shaved apple juice
  • half and half to splash in to make it "dirty"
  • whipped cream & caramel drizzle

Instructions 

General Instructions:

  • For all* of the above combinations I used the fine shave ice blade and did not need to temper the ice mold "pucks" - just let them sit out long enough so you can pop them out of the mold. (*The banana options works well with the coarse blade. It makes "ribbons".)
    Each combination/"recipe" gives amount to fill 1 plastic "ice mold" cup.
    You can fill about 7-ounces up to the "fill-line" on each cup.
    Each frozen ice mold cup will make about a pint of shave ice.
    Freeze 12+ hours or until completely frozen.
    You can "harvest" the frozen pucks by removing the frozen puck from the cup and storing the pucks in a freezer bag/container.

Any Combination/Recipe with Sweetened Condensed Milk -

  • Make sure to mix the the thick sweetened condensed milk well into the other ingredients - so it doesn't settle to the bottom of the ice mold cup during freezing. I usually just whisk the ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. (not vigorous whisking - don't really want to aerate.)

Cosmo Blizzard Cocktail:

  • To each chilled martini glass add:
  • 1 1/2 oz chilled vodka, 1/2 oz chilled triple sec and 1/2 oz lime juice
  • Shave the frozen cranberry juice puck into a bowl and spoon over the alcohol mixture in each glass.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel and a cocktail straw.

Basic Fruit Syrup Instructions:

  • Add all ingredients in saucepan and bring to boil.
  • Simmer until sugars are dissolved and fruit is soft.
  • Puree all ingredients and strain.
  • Cool completely. Add water if too thick to sink into shave ice.
  • Note: all fruit is different as far as sweetness and moisture content - all measurements are approx.

Topping Ideas:

  • The coffee and banana mixtures are tasty with caramel, chocolate syrups, whipped cream and/or sweetened condensed milk.
    Fruit syrups are delicious on plain shaved ice and the vanilla cream

Notes

Tajin Seasoning:

Is a mild chili pepper, lime and salt spice blend that is delicious with the sweet watermelon shave ice!
