Sno-ball is an American dessert originating from New Orleans. It consists of a mound of fluffy shaved ice that is flavored with sweet syrups. They are typically sold from March to October and can be found at numerous sno-ball stands throughout the city.

The tradition of sno-balls dates back to the 1930s, when Ernest Hansen and George Ortolano started to use the first ice-shaving machines. Nowadays, there is a huge variety of sno-ball flavors such as kiwi, coconut, wedding cake, chocolate, buttered popcorn, tutti frutti, cream soda, coffee, tamarind, and dozens of other flavors.
