- 4 cups shaved ice
Toppings & Garnishes
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (optional)
- 2 tbsp red bean paste (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries, then set them aside in a bowl to keep ready for assembling the dessert.
- Make shaved ice: Prepare the shaved ice by freezing water overnight and then shaving it finely, or alternatively, use pre-made shaved ice for convenience.
- Assemble shaved ice: In individual serving bowls, layer the shaved ice to create fluffy, snow-like mounds that will serve as the base of the dessert.
- Add condensed milk: Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk generously over the shaved ice to add sweetness and creaminess to the base.
- Add toppings: Top the ice with the sliced strawberries and, if desired, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of red bean paste for additional flavor and texture.

Notes
- Use freshly shaved ice for the fluffiest texture and best experience.
- Sweetened condensed milk adds both sweetness and creaminess, but you can adjust the amount to your preference.
- Optional toppings like vanilla ice cream and red bean paste enrich the flavor; omit if you prefer a lighter dessert.
- Serve immediately after assembly to prevent the ice from melting.
- This dessert is best enjoyed chilled and fresh.
