Ingredients

• 500 ml Milk
• 60 ml Sweetened condensed milk
• 20 large cubes Ice cubes
• 200 g Canned sweetened red beans (adzuki)
• 100 g Strawberries
• 1 medium Kiwi
• 1 medium Banana
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare Milk Ice Base - In a bowl, combine 500 ml of milk, 60 ml of sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 2

Step 2: Freeze Milk Mixture - Pour the milk mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 3-4 hours until fully solidified.

Step 3

Step 3: Prepare Fruits - Wash the strawberries and slice them thinly. Peel the kiwi and banana, and slice them into small pieces. Set aside in separate bowls.

Step 4

Step 4: Shave the Milk Ice - Once the milk ice cubes are frozen, place them into a blender or ice shaver and process until they have the texture of fine snowy flakes. If using a blender, work in batches and pulse to avoid melting the ice.

Step 5

Step 5: Assemble the Bingsu - In serving bowls, first layer a generous amount of shaved milk ice.

Step 6

Step 6: Add Toppings - Spoon the canned sweetened red beans evenly over the shaved ice in each bowl. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, and banana around the beans.

Step 7

Step 7: Serve Immediately - Optionally, drizzle a little extra sweetened condensed milk on top before serving to enhance sweetness. Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free classic Korean Bingsu!
