How-To
Dairy-Free & Vegan Shaved Ice: A Complete How-To
Creamy, dreamy and completely plant-based.
Plant-based milk snow
To get that creamy bingsu texture without dairy, freeze sweetened coconut or oat milk into a block and shave it just like milk snow. Coconut brings richness; oat brings a mellow, neutral creaminess.
Both melt beautifully and carry fruit flavors without stealing the show.
Toppings to keep it vegan
Most of the best toppings are already plant-based — you just skip the condensed milk (or use a coconut version).
- Fresh fruit of every kind
- Grass jelly, lychee jelly and most boba
- Coconut cream drizzle instead of condensed milk
- Toasted coconut, crushed peanut, mochi (check the brand)
