Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients
Gather measured shaved ice, evaporated milk, sweet beans, ube, and leche flan, plus 8 tall glasses, a scale, spoon, jug, scoop, and knife. · 1 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are ready.
- Chill Glasses
Chill the tall glasses in the refrigerator so the ice stays fluffy and the milk remains cold during assembly. · 10 min
What to look for: The glasses feel cold to the touch.
- Layer Sweet Bases
Spoon 60 g sweet beans into each glass, then add 50 g ube beside them so the colors stay distinct before the ice goes in. · 8 min
What to look for: Each glass has separate layers of beans and purple ube.
- Add Shaved Ice
Pile 200 g shaved ice into each glass, mounding it gently without packing so the milk can flow through the layers. · 5 min
What to look for: The ice forms a light mound above the toppings.
- Pour Milk
Pour 80 ml evaporated milk over each mound, then crown every glass with 40 g leche flan cut into soft cubes. · 4 min
What to look for: Milk streaks through the ice and flan sits on top.
- Serve Cold
Serve at once with long spoons, telling diners to mix thoroughly before eating for the classic creamy colorful bite. · 1 min
What to look for: The dessert is cold, layered, and ready to mix.
