Homemade Snow Cone Recipes
Did you know that the Blendtec is the only blender on the market that can crush ice into a fine snow without adding water or any other steps? That's right! And it is done in a matter of seconds! We'll tell you how to turn ice into snow. We also have three mouth-watering homemade, fresh fruit syrups to try on your snow cones - so much better than paying for snow cones with artificial flavors!
How to make snow cone/shaved ice in Blendtec:
- FourSide jar: 3 cups ice
- WildSide+ jar: 5 cups ice
- Add ice cubes to jar and secure lid. Blend on a medium speed for 7-10 seconds or until desired consistency is reached.

Pineapple Snow Cone Syrup
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions for all syrups:
- Add ingredients to FourSide or WildSide+ jar and secure lid. Select "Syrups" (if you don't have the "Syrups" cycle, use "Soup" or "Hot" cycle or blend on a high speed for 90 seconds).
- Add fruit puree to Medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
- Remove from heat and place in heat-proof container with lid (we used canning jars). Chill in refrigerator until cool or ready to serve.
I’ve been buying my syrups premade, because I can be lazy in hot weather — which is all the time in socal — but these recipes look great! Especially with the fresh fruit — with stevia, they would make a great healthy snack!
I make snow in my Blendtec every day! I prefer a more fine shaved ice than coarse snowcone ice. Here is how I do it —
Use 4 cups of ice in Wildside jar
Push the arrow up one time and let it process for about 15 seconds, when it starts to slow down
Push the arrow up one more time. it will stop after about 3 seconds.
Voila….SNOW in July! I make this at least one time every day and enjoy it without any syrup. If I’m in the mood for dessert I like these combinations—
vanilla syrup and Eagle Brand milk….. just like homemade ice cream!
raspberry syrup and Eagle Brand milk…. rasberries and cream!
coconut syrup, vanilla syrup, and Eagle Brand milk….. YUM!
Can’t wait to make the mango peach syrup!
This recipe can be done in either the FourSide jar or WildSide+ jar. Or our older WildSide, if that is the one you have.
so….can’t do this in the regular container, only in a jar?
Hi Smoothie gal,
Each recipe is 17-22 servings of 2 tbsp. We recommend about 2 tbsp per 1/2 cup so it depends on how much you’d like to serve each person. Also, if you click on the image or title of the recipe, it will take you to all the nutritional information. Hope this helps!
