VariationsGranita

A snow cone (or snow kone, sno kone, sno-kone, sno cone, or sno-cone) is a ground-up ice dessert commonly served in paper cones or foam cups. This is not to be confused with shaved ice which shaves a thin layer of ice off an ice block instead of grounding or crushing ice. The dessert consists of ice grounds that are topped with flavored sugar syrup.

Depending on the region of North America, the terms "snowball", “ice cone” and "snow cone" may refer to different things. Where the distinction is made, the former refers to a dessert made of finely ground ice ("like soft fresh snow"), while the latter contains ground-up ice that is coarser and more granular ("crunchy").
