Jello Homemade Shaved Ice
My mom is a book hoarder. She has books bulging out of every closet and spilling into the garage. So when she decided it was time to get rid of some, guess who went to help her? Yours truly. She had a TON of cookbooks also. She doesn’t cook anymore, (I’m her youngest) but she just loves to look at the pictures of the food in the cookbooks. So I took a few for myself, and one of them was a Jello Cookbook.
This is where this genius idea came from! It’s SO easy and SO yummy, and there are so many different flavors to choose from. These are the perfect summer treat for kids! My kids just go and get the pan out of the freezer and dish some up when they are hot. These would also be really yummy over vanilla ice cream, the REAL Hawaiian way!
These that we made are strawberry, pineapple and blueberry. We were trying to make 4th of July shaved ice, but there are no jello’s that are white! So we tried yellow instead and it just turned into primary colors 😉
It only takes 3 ingredients and it’s easy enough for the older kids to make on their own. If you trust your kids with boiling water, that is.
Learn now to make it on the next page. It’s so easy!

Oh that's pretty neat, going to have to try that! We would love for you to share at our new Super Summer Saturday party here: http://www.thechirpingmoms.com/2013/06/super-summer-saturday.html<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Julie
Thanks so much I know my kids would thank you as well as my twin granddaughters! Thanks,Cindy
WOW!!!! That is awesome! I think I am going to have to try that this weekend with my son! =D<br /><br />Thank you for the awesome idea!! =D<br />http://adorkablii.com/
Definetly gonna do this one! I believe they do make a coconut jell-o and its white 🙂
Jennifer… my husband reminded me of that AFTER I had already made this 😉 its down the ethnic isle and it's called Haupia. Have you seen it made by Jello?
There used to be white grape jello. That was almost clear. Not sure if it is still available. I really liked it.
Jolyne, I'll have to look for that! Thanks!
This looks SO delicious! I need to try this with my kiddos!
This looks AMAZING! My 3 year old will LOVE it! Can't wait to make it! You were featured at The Inspiration Network! <br /><br />http://theinspiration-network.com/jello-shaved-ice/<br /><br />Diana and Melanie<br />The Inspiration Network Girls<br />
I love this idea! Would love to have you link this up to our "Think Tank Thursday" party starting tomorrow night at 9:00pm EST.<br />http://joyfulhomemaking.com/
<a href="http://www.hawaiianshavedice.com" rel="nofollow">HawaiianShavedIce.com</a> has a great (CHEAP!) shaved ice machine. I have one in my kitchen and used your recipe – it was delicious! I mixed everything together and froze it in my ice mold. After it froze, I put it in my machine and it was great!
We wanted to let you know that we featured you this past Saturday as one of our kid-related favorites as part of our Super Summer Saturday series: http://www.thechirpingmoms.com/2013/07/super-summer-saturday.html! Hope you come back each week and share some more great ideas!<br /><br />Julie<br />
@JulieRogers I love it when people share my stuff! Thanks!<br /><br />@Starveit What a great idea! I am glad it worked in your machine! Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />
Also another tip: Use the clear Jello and add a can of condensed milk and it will come out white. It is also very tasty with Jello. It will taste like the Vietnamese deserts.
The colors and texture makes it look so yummy. I own a shaved ice business but this is something I cant wait to try at home with my son. Check out The DIY Show Challenge. http://thediyshow.com/
Have you tried making them in your shave ice molds?
No, but that would work just great!
This recipe worked great! My kids and I loved it. I featured you at the make Bake Create Party here: http://bubblynaturecreations.com/2013/07/dreamsicle-jello-shaved-ice.html
Do you think sparkling water would work instead of soda? Or does the sugar in the soda maybe help it set differently.
I think it would be just fine without the sugar in the soda. If you try it, let me know how it works.
Have you ever tried it with sugar free jello and diet soda? I wonder if it would work as well. I think I will try it and see.
I haven’t tried it with diet soda and sugar free jello, but I don’t think it would make much of a difference. It sets up because of the gelatin and water content.
Any idea why the soda pop is included. Does it need to be there? Thanks for sharing. I know what I’m making this weekend.

I think the carbonation in the pop makes it easier to scrape up. If you used juice or water, I don’t think it would have the same texture or zing. Good question.
Can this recipe still work with diet/no sugar Jello and diet/soda? I work in assisted living and I’d love to have the kitchen make this for them, but we have to make it for the many diabetics. I’m wondering if it would still have the same texture.
Yes, I’m sure it will work perfectly.
I love how the red shaved ice looks! My husband and I are wanting to buy a shaved ice machine and we wanted to know some recipes before we make any. I’ll have to look into using this recipe for when we get our machine!
Can the ice be frozen in a plastic container instead of a glass baking pan?
Yes it can!
Can you make this recipe in the Ninja Creami? If so, what setting would you use?
I’ve never used the Ninja Creami so I can’t help you, sorry!
Most recipes that will freeze really hard & icy are spun on the sorbet setting. I’d also set the pint container in warm water for a few minutes (10 or so) before spinning. This seems to work best according to different FB groups.
Could you maybe do this with lemonade instead of sprite? Would it still taste good? Also, after it freezes do you taste the fizz of the sprite?
You could use lemonade, but I think it might freeze so solid that you wouldn’t be able to “scrape” it like you can with the Sprite. I’m pretty sure the carbonation in the Sprite make it easy to scrape.
