Raspados - Mexican Shaved Ice Delight

Raspados are a traditional Mexican dessert that will transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Mexico. This refreshing shaved ice treat is drizzled with homemade fruit syrups, topped with luscious fresh fruits, condensed milk, and whipped cream. For an extra kick, we sprinkle a bit of chili powder and serve with a tangy lime wedge on the side. It's the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and a little spicy, keeping you cool during those hot summer days.
