(Fresco – Fresko) The most common way to cool off in Haiti is with a large cool cup of Fresco. Fresco is very similar to a snow cone but its consistency is much softer. Snow codes are usually made with crushed ice whereas a Fresco is made with shaved ice. The most popular flavor you will find is cherry and it is typically topped off with roasted peanuts. Other flavors include pineapple, watermelon, lemon, and mango. Here is an easy version you can make at home.
