Ingredients

Servings:
2 cupwhole milk
½ cupwater
¾ cupsweetened red beans
2 tbspgranulated sugar
3 tbspcondensed milk

Optional

Not counted above. The dish works without them.

½ cupfresh fruit, diced

Steps

  1. mix3 min
    sugar dissolved into milk and water
    Stir the milk, water and sugar until dissolved. Diluting the milk slightly makes the frozen base easier to shave while retaining the fine snowy texture associated with modern milk bingsu.
  2. freeze210 min
    base frozen completely solid in a shallow container or freezer bag
    Freeze the base in a thin layer so it can be shaved or finely crushed without requiring a commercial machine. A thick solid block is harder to turn into delicate crystals before it starts melting.
  3. prep10 min
    serving bowls chilled and toppings portioned before ice is exposed
    Chill the serving bowls and have the beans, condensed milk and any fruit ready before shaving. Bingsu has almost no holding window once the fine ice is exposed to room temperature.
  4. shave8 min
    ice extremely fine and snow-like rather than chunky
    Shave, grate or finely crush the frozen milk base directly into the chilled bowl. Avoid pressing the ice down; loose crystals create the characteristic light texture.
  5. plate4 min
    beans and condensed milk distributed without compressing the ice
    Spoon sweet red beans over the ice, drizzle with condensed milk and add optional fruit sparingly. Serve immediately before the fine crystals collapse into a dense slush.
