Frozen Cotton Candy Desserts

SNOBAR Brings You a New Treat Made of Shaved Ice and Ice Cream

It is made from a mixture of shaved ice and ice cream; the purified water is infused with natural flavoring and then it is flash frozen.

Their website sums it up nicely by saying that it tastes like “A feathery, cotton candy-like texture that dissolves in your mouth on contact.” The flavors offered are Rose, Chocolate, Milk, Mango, Strawberry, HoneyDew, Peanut Butter and Taro. You can also dress them up with a variety of toppings, from fresh fruit, nuts to an assortment of candy.
