Brandenburg Berry Delight

Ingredients

In this adaptation, the traditional Korean Patbingsu is transformed into a Brandenburg delight by incorporating local flavors and ingredients. The original sweetened condensed milk is replaced with elderflower syrup, adding a unique floral note to the dessert. Additionally, the traditional Korean toppings such as rice cakes and sweetened condensed milk are omitted, and instead, a medley of fresh berries is used to enhance the fruity flavors of the dish.
