If the “snow” appears powdery, the ice is too cold. If the “snow” is no longer fluffy
with a matte appearance, call Customer Care to order replacement blades.
•
When shaving ice, use either the provided molds to make blocks or ice cubes. We
do not advise using chipped or flaked ice, or cocktail ice (holes in it) for shaving.
•
When dispensing syrups or other flavors, start by pouring on the widest part of the
cone, then rotate the cone and dispense syrup up towards the middle of the cone.
This will give you the best concentration of flavor throughout the cone.
•
When making snow cones, do not compact your ice into the cone or dish. Shaved
ice absorbs flavors better when it is not compacted.
•
If freezing a mixture, like syrup and water or juice, remember that freezing reduces
sweetness. Always taste your mixtures before you freeze them. If you feel
something is too sweet, add some lemon juice or another tart juice. If it’s not sweet
enough, add more sweetener.

Here are some suggestions to get you started. Check out our recipe section at
www.westbend.com for more recipe ideas.
Super Snow Cones - Place shaved ice into snow cone cups. Dispense your favorite
Jelly Belly™ premium flavored syrup directly on top of the shaved ice. Combine
different syrups to create your own unique flavors. Because the shaved ice is so
fine, it absorbs the flavored syrup instead of letting it run to the bottom. This gives
you a truly intense flavor sensation, all the way through! Tip: Use flavored ice blocks
for unique snow cone tastes. Freeze fruit juice, soda, flavored yogurt, or flavored
milk into cubes. Shave into cups. If desired, use Jelly Belly™ premium flavored
syrup for added flavor.
Slushes - Place shaved ice into serving cups or glasses. Add just enough Jelly
Belly™ premium flavored syrup to totally absorb into the shaved ice. Try adding one
of the following for a delicious, cool and refreshing treat. Try it with your favorite
sliced or diced fruit.
Soda - Use your favorite variety such as cola, root beer, and fruit flavors. Add a
twist of lemon or lime for an added “burst” of flavor.
Fruit Juices - Natural flavorings that are both tasty and good for you. Try apple,
grape, orange, grapefruit, and cranberry or any combination for a special treat.
Lemonade and Punch-Flavored Drinks - Cool and refreshing flavors are great
for any occasion.
Rainbow Slush - A colorful and fun treat. Place a layer of shaved ice in the bottom
of a tall, parfait style glass; add syrup flavor. Add a middle layer of ice; add a
different syrup flavor. Add a top layer of ice and another syrup flavor. Garnish with
fruit or paper umbrellas. A great party treat!
Sorbets - Blend together ¾ cup of your favorite fruit, mashed or pureed, ½ cup cold
water, and ¼ cup sugar until smooth. Shave 1 block of ice or frozen fruit juice and
then add shaved ice to the blender and blend until smooth.
Ice Cream Snowballs - Shave about of an ice block into a dish, add a scoop of
sherbet, then cover sherbet with more shaved ice. Add your choice of Jelly Belly™
premium flavored syrup. Mix and match syrup and sherbet flavors to see what
combinations you can create!
