👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Prepare your serving glasses. For each glass, begin by layering a small spoonful of each of the prepared sweet ingredients at the bottom. This might include sweetened beans, jackfruit, coconut strips, plantain, ube halaya, and jelly. Aim for a colorful and varied base.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Generously fill the remaining space in each glass with finely shaved ice. Pack it down slightly to create a solid mound. The finer the ice, the better it will absorb the milk.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Top each mound of shaved ice with a slice of leche flan and a generous scoop of ube ice cream. The contrast of the creamy flan and vibrant ice cream is essential.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Drizzle chilled evaporated milk over the entire dessert until it's well-soaked. Serve immediately with a long spoon and straw. Instruct diners to mix all the ingredients together ('halo-halo') before eating to enjoy the full symphony of flavors and textures.
