Description

Homemade Mango Shaved Ice, also known as Mango Bingsu, is a refreshing and creamy dessert perfect for warm days. Made by blending fresh mangoes with milk and sweetened condensed milk, then freezing and finely crushing the mixture into a fluffy ice texture, this treat is served topped with fresh mango chunks and optional creamy toppings for a delightful tropical flavor experience.


Ingredients

Fruit and Puree

  • 3 ripe mangoes (divided: 1 for puree, 2 for topping)

Liquid Base

  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (divided)

Optional Toppings

  • vanilla ice cream (optional)
  • whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango Puree: Cut the fruit off from one mango and place it in a blender along with the milk, water, and half of the sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth to create a mango puree. Pour this mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight to solidify.
  2. Form Shaved Ice: Once the mango puree cubes are frozen, add them to a blender and pulse carefully until the cubes break down into coarse crumbs resembling shaved ice. Be cautious not to over-blend to avoid a mushy texture.
  3. Assemble Dessert: Scoop the shaved mango ice into serving bowls. Top with chunks from the remaining mangoes. Drizzle with the remaining sweetened condensed milk to enhance sweetness and creaminess.
  4. Serve and Garnish: For an extra indulgent touch, pre-freeze serving bowls to keep the dessert cold longer and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Freezing the serving bowls helps maintain the icy texture longer upon serving.
  • Do not over-process the frozen mango cubes to keep the dessert from becoming too mushy.
  • Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Optional toppings like ice cream or whipped cream add richness but can be omitted for a lighter version.
