Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 4 cups ice cubes in a blender or food processor. Pulse until the ice is finely shaved and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Do not over-process or it will melt.

  2. Step 2

    Spoon the shaved ice into a chilled bowl, mounding it high. Work quickly to keep it from melting.

  3. Step 3

    Drizzle the 1/2 cup strawberry syrup evenly over the top of the ice, letting it cascade down the sides.

  4. Step 4

    Finish with the 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk drizzled over the syrup. Serve immediately with a spoon.
