Ingredients
Fruits
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Base
- 4 cups shaved ice
Toppings
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional)
- 2 tbsp red bean paste (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries, then set them aside in a bowl to keep them ready for topping the dessert.
- Make Shaved Ice: Prepare the shaved ice by freezing water overnight and shaving it, or use pre-shaved ice for convenience.
- Assemble the Base: In serving bowls, layer the shaved ice to create light and fluffy mounds as the foundation of the dessert.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk generously over the piled shaved ice to add creaminess and sweetness.
- Top with Strawberries and Extras: Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the ice and milk. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of red bean paste for extra richness and flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the bingsu with fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and freshness, then serve immediately to enjoy the best texture.
Notes
- Shaved ice can be made at home using a blender or ice shaver, or purchased pre-shaved for convenience.
- Optional toppings like vanilla ice cream and red bean paste enhance texture and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler dessert.
- Serve immediately after assembly to prevent the ice from melting and losing its fluffy texture.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to suit your preferred sweetness level.
