Steps

  1. prep8 min
    all toppings cold and drained
    Chill the serving glasses and portion the sweet beans, jackfruit, nata de coco and jelly. Drain excess packing syrup so the final dessert is sweet but not flooded before milk is added.
  2. top5 min
    distinct layers below ice
    Divide the sweet components among the bottoms of four tall glasses, varying their placement rather than blending them together. The dessert is designed to reveal different textures as the diner mixes downward.
  3. top3 min
    ice piled generously
    Pack shaved ice over the fillings and pour evaporated milk slowly over each glass. Fine shaved ice absorbs milk while remaining spoonable; large hard cubes do not create the same texture.
  4. top2 min
    serve immediately
    Crown each glass with ube ice cream and serve immediately with a long spoon. The diner should mix the halo-halo themselves; pre-mixing destroys the layered presentation and accelerates melting.
