Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mango — Choose a ripe mango for the best flavor and texture.
• Sweetened condensed milk — Adjust the amount according to your desired level of sweetness.
• Coconut flakes — Toast the coconut flakes for a nuttier flavor.
• Red bean paste — Use store-bought red bean paste or make your own by cooking adzuki beans with sugar until soft and mashed.

Tips & Tricks

• For a creamier texture, blend some of the mangoes with the sweetened condensed milk before adding them to the shaved ice.
• Experiment with different toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or matcha powder.
• If you don't have access to shaved ice, you can crush ice cubes in a blender until they reach a snow-like consistency.

Presentation advice
