Is Shaved Ice Gluten-Free and Vegan?

Is shaved ice vegan and gluten-free?

Usually yes on both counts. Shaved ice itself is frozen water, and most fruit syrups are both vegan and gluten-free. The things to watch are dairy toppings — condensed milk, milk snow and ice cream — and a few add-ons like cookie crumbles (gluten) or certain jellies.

To keep a bowl vegan, swap condensed milk for coconut cream and stick to fruit and most jellies. To keep it gluten-free, skip cookie or cereal toppings and confirm cross-contact at the counter.
