Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (canned or boiled fresh)
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 cups Shaved ice
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Sweet corn syrup (optional, from canned corn)
- 1 slice Leche flan (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Crispy cornflakes or puffed rice (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare your ingredients by draining the sweet corn if using canned corn or boiling and cooling fresh corn. Reserve some corn syrup from the can if you would like to use it for additional sweetness.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, sugar, and the reserved corn syrup (if using). Stir well and set aside for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

4. Add a few spoonfuls of the sweetened corn mixture on top of the shaved ice.
5. Drizzle a generous amount of sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk over the corn and ice layer.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining shaved ice, corn mixture, and milk, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
7. If desired, top with a slice of leche flan for a richer dessert or add crispy cornflakes or puffed rice for texture.
8. Serve immediately with a spoon and straw. Enjoy your creamy, icy Mais Con Yelo!
