Italian ice gets its smooth texture from the very fine grate used to shave the ice. When the individual ice crystals are smaller, more air is mixed in and creates the smooth and creamy texture that is quintessential to classic Italian ice.
The KitchenAid Shave Ice Attachment includes different sized blades to shave ice into different textures depending on the dessert you’re creating. The attachment’s fine blade helps you achieve the snow-like texture necessary for the perfect Italian ice.
