KitchenAid Shave Ice Recipe Ideas & Tips (2024)

Here are some combinations I have tried with my KitchenAid Shave Ice Attachment.

Each combination/"recipe" gives amount to fill 1 plastic "ice mold" cup.

You can fill about 7-ounces up to the "fill-line" on each cup.

Each frozen ice mold cup will make about a pint of shave ice.

Sweet Creamy Espresso Shave Ice – mix well before freezing

• 1 shot (1 oz) espresso
• 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
• 5 ounces milk

Un-Sweetened Creamy Espresso Shave Ice

• 1 shot (1 oz) espresso
• 6 ounces milk

Cold Brew Cloud

• 3.5 ounces cold brew coffee
• 3.5 ounces milk

Vanilla Cream – mix well before freezing

• 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk
• 6 ounces milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fluffy Banana Freeze

• 1-2 ripe bananas smush in ice cup up to fill-line with fork

Cosmo Blizzard (co*cktail) – see below for alcohol ingredients & info.

• 7 ounces cranberry juice such as Ocean Spray type

Basic Fruit Syrup (for topping shave ice)(this recipe from KitchenAid)

• 2.5 cups (400g) fruit
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) water
• 1/2 cup (130g) sugar
• 1 pinch (0.9g) salt
• 30 ml juice of 1 lemon or lime – unless making citrus flavor

General Instructions:

• For all of the above combinations I used the fine shave ice blade and did not need to temper the ice mold "pucks" – just let them sit out long enough so you can pop them out of the mold.

  Each combination/"recipe" gives amount to fill 1 plastic "ice mold" cup.

  You can fill about 7-ounces up to the "fill-line" on each cup.

  Each frozen ice mold cup will make about a pint of shave ice.

  Freeze 12+ hours or until completely frozen.

  You can "harvest" the frozen pucks by removing the frozen puck from the cup and storing the pucks in a freezer bag/container.

Any Combination/Recipe with Sweetened Condensed Milk –

• Make sure to mix the the thick sweetened condensed milk well into the other ingredients – so it doesn't settle to the bottom of the ice mold cup during freezing. I usually just whisk the ingredients in a bowl until well mixed. (not vigorous whisking – don't really want to aerate.)

Cosmo Blizzard co*cktail:

• To each chilled martini glass add:

• 1 1/2 oz chilled vodka, 1/2 oz chilled triple sec and 1/2 oz lime juice

• Shave the frozen cranberry juice puck into a bowl and spoon over the alcohol mixture in each glass.

• Garnish with a lime wheel and a co*cktail straw.

Basic Fruit Syrup Instructions:

• Add all ingredients in saucepan and bring to boil.

• Simmer until sugars are dissolved and fruit is soft.

• Puree all ingredients and strain.

• Cool completely. Add water if too thick to sink into shave ice.

• Note: all fruit is different as far as sweetness and moisture content – all measurements are approx.

Topping Ideas:

• The coffee and banana mixtures are tasty with caramel, chocolate syrups, whipped cream and/or sweetened condensed milk.

  Fruit syrups are delicious on plain shaved ice and the vanilla cream
