Some versions of snow ice are made with cream or condensed milk so they’re more like a hybrid of shaved ice and ice cream. Instead of pouring syrups on top, Taiwanese-style snow ice requires a special machine that flash freezes a mixture of flavorings and water or cream for a uniquely addictive flavor and texture.
All you need to whip up your own frozen delicacy is an ice shaver and toppings. If red beans and glutinous rice cakes don’t whet your appetite, try fresh fruit and unexpected syrups, like dulce de leche, and yummy toppings like fruit, granola, or whatever you love on your ice cream.
