Jello Shave Ice

Is shave ice popular where you live?  Here in Utah, you can barely turn a corner without a shave ice hut on it.  My personal favorite shave ice hut is Hokulia’s.  I have a different shave ice hut near my home and the other day  I  counted over 40 people in line.  It’s a crazy phenomena here.

Now here’s a lesson for you on shave ice.  If you know what you are talking about, you will call it “shave ice” and not “shaved ice”.  If you call it “shave ice”, it means that you know thats it’s official Hawaiian name.  If you call it “shaved ice”, you are showing your haole (pronounced how-lee = non-islander) ignorance!

My daughter is half Tongan and her husband is full Samoan so around our house, we definitely call it “shave ice”!!

Now that you know what to call it, let’s get around to making it.  Here we go!

Jello Shave Ice

Course Dessert

Author Made From Pinterest

Ingredients

• 1 6 oz package of Jello or two 3oz pkgs any flavor you desire
• 2 cups boiling water
• 4 cups Sprite
• 2-3 drops of Americolor Soft Gel Paste in red blue and purple. Can also use regular food dye color.
• Condensed milk if desired

Instructions

• With a whisk, mix the dry jello powder into 2 cups boiling water. Mix well so that all the jello powder is dissolved.
• Add four cups of Sprite. Mixture will get foamy but that is normal.
• Add desired number of drops of food color. This is just to get a brighter color of ice.
• Mix well.
• Pour into 9x13 pan and freeze overnight.
• When ready to serve, scoop out of the pan with an ice cream scoop.
• If desired, you can top with some condensed milk.

Notes

One 2 litre bottle of Sprite yields 10 cups which makes 2 1/2 recipes.

And for the finale, you can also top your shave ice with some sweetened condensed milk:
