A portable snow cone maker that includes a housing with a mounting plate arranged to receive studs that extend at right angles outwardly from a drive shaft end of an electric motor, the studs fitted through holes in the mounting plate with nuts turned thereover to mount the motor within the housing, which housing mounting plate is open to accommodate the drive shaft fitted therethrough. An ice cube shaving blade, that is a metal band connected at its ends and is slotted laterally at spaced intervals therearound with an edge of each slot elevated to form an ice shaving scoop that shaves ice off of an ice cube that is urged against the blade top surface, the shavings to pass through the blade slots. The blade is mounted to extend outwardly from a blade mount that includes a collar for mounting to the drive shaft. A combination hopper and chute, wherethrough ice cubes are urged by a plunger to engage the turning blade top surface, and a discharge chute mounted to the chute lower end, is for fitting onto the motor studs that receive nuts turned thereover completing the invention assembly. The ice shaving blade turns within the discharge chute through slots formed in a cylindrical section of the discharge chute, one slot the blade turns into functioning as a wiper for removing ice shaving as have passed through the blade slots and directs those shavings along a curved face of which discharge chute cylindrical section into a vessel positioned therebelow.
