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.
