Shaved ice desserts can be found in different forms and names in many countries around the world. Now it is the most trendy street dessert, but shaved ice has already begun to be served in many restaurants in the summer heat.
Heavy ice is a dessert made of ice, poured with various fruit crusts. When it is cooked, a piece of ice is prepared to produce a snow-like mass, which is then watered with various toppings. Thanks to the radiant concept, the syrup penetrates inside the snow, but does not remain on the surface.
In different countries, shaved ice is prepared, served and called differently.
