Whether you're searching for a delightful way to beat the heat or a crowd-pleasing dessert, Mango Bingsu delivers a refreshing twist on frozen desserts.
1. Begin by preparing the milk mixture. In a small bowl, combine the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Place the mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes to chill.
2. While the milk mixture chills, peel and cut the mangoes into small cubes. Set aside in a bowl.
3. Once the milk mixture is sufficiently chilled, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 1-2 hours until it is solid.
4. When ready to make the bingsu, remove the milk ice cubes from the freezer and place them in a blender or food processor along with the regular ice cubes.
5. Pulse the blender or processor until the ice mixture achieves a fine, snow-like texture. If your machine is not powerful enough to crush the ice smoothly, you may need to do this in batches.
6. In serving bowls, evenly distribute the shaved ice among the four portions. Gently shape the ice into mounds.
7. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over each serving of shaved ice. Use more or less according to taste.
8. Top the shaved ice generously with the fresh mango cubes.
9. Garnish each bowl with a few mint leaves for a touch of color and freshness.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful and refreshing Mango Bingsu.
