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 think the syrups can be made without sugar and without heating to dissolve. Simply add Stevia or xylitol to the purée and chill.
Sounds great Eve. We’d love to hear how it turns and how much sugar you end up using.
Eating healthfully means not loading up with sugar like in these shave ices. How about a version for diabetics or a link to the same recipes using Truvia or the best tasting sugar alternative for diabetics?
Thanks…. Karen
I need to reduce my sugar intake, and my daughter-in-law doesn’t want us to feed the grandkids too much sugar.
Do you have snow cone ‘syrup’ recipes without the added granulated sugar? or with reduced sugar?
Thank you, and the grandkids will love you for no/low sugar snow cone recipes !

Seriously? Snow cones? I am not using my Blendtec enough, apparently. Great idea.
