Take your shaved ice drinks to the next level with these festive holiday recipes. Why not enjoy your favorite summertime treat year-round. My boys live outdoors during the summer and come running every time I get out the shaved ice machine. I am sure we have tried every combination of syrup from tiger’s blood to root beer. So, we decided to try out the Hawaiian Shaved Ice Home Pro Shaver as an early Christmas gift for the boys. It gets harder every year to pick out a gift that they will want but this is a hit at any age. Go ahead and add the Hawaiian Shaved Ice Home Pro Shaver to your Christmas wish list this year.
As you review the following recipes, you will see the topping snow cap. You may be wondering what that is exactly. A snow cap is a delicious blend of sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk (we added a few drops of vanilla extract to ours too). The combination takes the flavors of shaved ice to a creamy next level of goodness. The idea roots back to tropical locations such as Hawaii where shaved ice stands are everywhere. Once the cool frosty shaved ice is covered with flavored syrup, the crowning glory comes from the snow cap over the top. My advice is don’t knock it until you try it.

We also added a root beer candy cane for a festive flair!

Top the drink with vanilla ice cream, snow cap, whipped cream, blue sprinkles, cotton candy, and snowflake marshmallows.

Hawaiian Ice Home Pro Shaver
We have owned several shaved ice machines in the past. This one by far is the easiest to use with the ice blocks and push button shaver. You can also adjust the blade to regulate the snow texture to your liking. The Hawaiian Ice Home Pro Shaver is perfect for birthday parties and to bring to summer cookouts. Pro tip, allow your ice blocks or cubes to thaw for 5-7 minutes before shaving. This will yield a fluffier snow.
