A light and refreshing shaved ice dessert topped with fresh berries and a creamy condensed milk drizzle, perfect for hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole milk, frozen solid (or sweetened condensed milk frozen for extra creaminess)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup sugar (for slightly sweetened ice before shaving)
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: toasted sliced almonds or granola, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Freeze the Milk: Pour 2 cups of whole milk into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or overnight until solid but not rock-hard. Stir sugar into the milk before freezing if desired.
  2. Prepare the Berry Topping: Rinse berries, pat dry, slice strawberries, and combine all berries in a mixing bowl. Optionally toss with lemon juice or sugar 10 minutes before serving.
  3. Make the Condensed Milk Drizzle: Mix sweetened condensed milk with vanilla extract in a small bowl and keep chilled until ready to use.
  4. Shave the Frozen Milk: Use an ice shaver or blender to shave the frozen milk block into fine, fluffy ice. Pulse in short bursts if using a blender to avoid melting. Let frozen milk soften slightly if ice is too coarse.
  5. Assemble the Bingsu: Spoon shaved ice into serving bowls, top with mixed berries, and drizzle condensed milk mixture evenly over the top. Add nuts or granola last if using.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy right away for best texture and flavor. Keep bowls chilled if possible to slow melting.

Notes

Freeze milk in a shallow container for even freezing and easier shaving. Use frozen milk instead of regular ice cubes for creamier texture. Keep serving bowls chilled to slow melting. Adjust sweetness by varying condensed milk drizzle. For vegan version, use coconut or almond milk and dairy-free condensed milk alternatives.
