Raspado

Shaved ice is a large family of ice-based desserts made of fine shavings of ice or finely crushed ice and sweet condiments or syrups. usually, the syrup is added after the ice has been frozen and shaved—typically at the point of sale; however, flavoring can also be added before freezing. the dessert is consumed worldwide in various forms and ways. shaved ice can also be mixed with large quantities of liquid to produce shaved ice drinks. many shaved ices are confused with "italian ice", which is derived from the similar italian dessert known as "granita". however, italian ice, also known as "water ice", often has the flavoring (fruit juice or other ingredients, like almond) incorporated into the sugared water before it is frozen. shaved ice—especially highly commercial shaved ice (such as that found in food chains or from street vendors)—is often flavored after the ice has been frozen and shaved. snow cones are an example of shaved ice that is flavored after production.
