Shaved Ice with Kiwifruit Peaches is an easy, healthy, and novel dessert to keep you cool this summer. While we await the peach season I opted for kiwi fruit to create the delicious fruit ice. Freezing and grating frozen fruits is one of the best viral hacks lately. (Think it started with Frankie Gaw, @littlefatboyfrankie who started the “shaved ice” trend online this summer.) Fruit-based shaved ice has been a cultural staple of many countries, including Japan, Mexico, and the Philippines, to name a few.
To create dessert combo: freeze a fresh, peeled kiwi fruit, and use a sharp zester grater to shave the peach. The result is the freshest and vibrant kiwi “shaved ice” you’ve ever tasted. Enjoy as is or top with yogurt, seeds, nuts, fresh mint, or any topping you like. If you make a version of a shaved ice fruit dessert in your culture, please share in the comments!
