Shaved Ice

There’s a new frozen treat warming the hearts and cooling the tongues of dessert lovers everywhere.


What's Shaved Ice? And Where Can I Find It?

It comes in a few guises, but at its base is a fluffy mound of shaved ice. It’s made by spinning a block of ice against a razorsharp blade, which yields a snowy texture — much finer than a snow cone. In Hawaii it’s called “shave ice” and it’s accessorized with colourful syrups, condensed milk, vanilla ice cream and sweetened adzuki beans. In Korea, shaved ice — called bingsu — gets the full sundae treatment with toppings ranging from fresh fruit to whipped cream. Look for both styles in cafes, restaurants and night markets in the GTA and Ottawa.
