Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Finish your dessert with as much syrup, fruits, toppings, and sweets as you like.
  • Flavored syrup - I used Sala Syrup by Hales Blue Boy. You can use any brand of flavored syrup and any flavor you like.
  • Shaved ice - To make shaved ice without a machine, place crushed ice in a sealed plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin or pestle. If you have a good processor, you can use that to make shaved ice.
