Halo-Halo

Build two tall glasses from the bottom up. Sweet beans and jellies go below the ice so every spoon can pull something different into the milk.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup cooked sweetened red beans chilled
  • 1/4 cup nata de coco drained
  • 1/4 cup soft cooked sweetened saba banana or ripe mango diced
  • 2 cups finely shaved ice plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup chilled evaporated milk
  • 2 tbsp ube halaya
  • 2 small scoops ube or vanilla ice cream

Method
 

  1. Chill two 12- to 16-ounce glasses. Divide the sweetened beans, nata de coco and fruit among them. Use ready-to-eat sweetened beans for this dessert.
  2. Loosely mound the shaved ice over the fillings. Divide the cold evaporated milk between the glasses, pouring slowly around the edges.
  3. Top each with a spoonful of ube halaya and a small scoop of ice cream. Serve immediately with long spoons. Mix all the way to the bottom before eating.

For a less sweet glass, drain the syrup from the beans and nata de coco before assembling. Add more evaporated milk at the table. It is easier to adjust each glass after the ice begins to melt.
