Snow Cone

Snow Cone

Snow cones are a variation of the shaved ice dessert commonly served throughout North America in paper cones or foam cups. The dessert consists of ice shavings that are topped with flavored sugar syrup.

Depending on the region of the continent, the terms "snowball" and "snow cone" may refer to different things where the distinction is made, the former refers to a dessert made of finely shaved ice ("like soft fresh snow"), while the latter contains ice that is coarser and more granular ("crunchy").
