No, the first snow cone was created by Samuel Bert of Dallas, TX. for the 1919 State Fair of Texas.

A variation of snow cones was made of shaved ice. This was popular in various Asian countries as early as the 19th century.

There are no documented cases of snow cones in the medieval period. Shaved ice was available (see the link below for details on how it was preserved) and would have been quite a treat for the upper classes during hot seasons. I did read one record of a heavy wine or syrup of some sort being poured on shaved ice chips, but am not 100% sure if this was a mistranslation.
