Let’s be clear: This is not the snow cones topped with neon sugar syrup that you’d find at a carnival. While that treat does have a special place in my childhood heart, this shaved ice takes it to the next level. Taiwanese shaved ice is a mountain of soft, fluffy ice topped with fresh fruit and smooth, creamy condensed milk. It is amazing. Erika at The Pancake Princess has all the details you’ll need for this slightly more involved, but totally worth the effort, summertime treat.
