A snow cone (or snow kone, sno kone, sno-kone, sno cone, or sno-cone) is a variation of shaved ice or ground-up ice desserts commonly served in paper cones or foam cups. [1] The dessert consists of ice shavings that are topped with flavored sugar syrup.
In Latin America shaved ice desserts have influences from North American cultures, in many of these locations the Spanish name is either raspado, or its variations; raspa, raspao, raspadinha (raspar is Spanish for "scrape"; hence raspado means "scraped", referring to the ice, therefore also meaning shaved), or granizado, granizada, granizo (from granizo, meaning hail stone).
Shave ice in its simplest form is composed of thinly shaved ice and syrup served in a cup, paper cone, or bowl. [10] [5] [11] [12] [13] Distinct from snow cones that use crushed ice, the ice for Hawaiian shave ice is thinly shaved to create a unique texture that is more powdery and snow-like.
It is similar to a snow cone but with some notable differences: It has a much smoother fluffier ice consistency, much like fresh fallen snow, and a spoon is almost always used to eat it. The texture of the ice distinguishes kakigōri from other types of shaved ice desserts.

The New Orleans sno-cone history begins in the 1930s. In a pre-electric era, ice was manually scraped from a block of ice, producing a coarser, crunchier version of the sno-ball. In 1934, Ernest Hansen invented the first motor-driven ice-shaving machine.
