- Creamy Twist: Top with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or coconut cream.

- Crunch Factor: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, granola, or toasted coconut.

FAQs
1. Can I use any fruit?
Yes—try frozen apricot, pear, or even watermelon for a similar shaved ice effect.
2. Do I need a microplane?
A fine grater works best to achieve fluffy texture, but you can use a box grater carefully.
3. Is condensed milk necessary?
No—it’s optional. The peach has natural sweetness and flavor on its own.
4. Can I make a larger batch?
Yes—just freeze more peaches and grate as needed; serve individually.
5. How do I keep it cold longer?
Use a chilled bowl and serve immediately to prevent melting.
6. Can I use canned peaches?
No—only fresh peaches that have been frozen produce the right texture.
7. What if my peach is only partially frozen?
Grate it quickly—it just needs to be firm, not rock solid.
8. Is this vegan?
Yes—omit the condensed milk or use a vegan alternative.
9. Can I prep ahead?
Freeze peaches in advance, but grate right before serving for best texture.
10. Is the peach skin okay to eat?
Yes—the skin softens when grated and adds flavor and color to the ice.

Shaved Peach Ice is a delightful, no-fuss dessert that celebrates the sweetness of ripe peaches. With one simple act—grating—a frozen peach into snow-like ice, you get a beautiful, wholesome treat that’s perfect for summer refreshment or anytime you crave a light, fruity indulgence.
