Shave ice or Hawaiian shave ice is an ice-based dessert made by shaving a block of ice. While the product can resemble a snow cone snow cones are made with crushed rather than shaved ice. Even though it is made with shaved ice it is called shave ice not shaved ice by Hawaiians. On the Big Island of Hawai’i it is also referred to as ‘ice shave’ though both terms (ice shave and shave ice) are used by locals.Shaving produces a very fine ice that appears snow-like.
