This Mango Halo Halo recipe is inspired by the Taiwanese Mango Snow Ice Dessert. It's just fresh mango, ice, milk and mango sorbet. So simple, so quick, so easy.
Over the weekend we went to a snow ice place that had a mango shaved snow dessert. The ice is made with milk so when you shave it down it's as soft a brand new snow. It's then topped with mango sauce and fresh mango slices and if you wish a touch of condensed milk.
I myself don't add the condensed milk as I think it's good as is. This Mango Halo Halo is inspired by that Taiwanese dessert. It's very simple yet very good.
Ingredients
Fresh Ripe Mango - It's very important to use very sweet, juicy and ripe mango. Cut it into cubes. If you wish you can also blend some of the mango to make a drizzle.
Shaved Ice - I don't make the milky ice, as I tried before and my kind of shave ice machine cannot handle it. So I just use regular ice and shave it down.
Milk - You can use evaporated or your favorite milk or mylk.
Mango Syrup - Japan is having a mango craze at the moment so they had a mango shaved ice syrup. They do have a few options on amazon, as it's hard to find it at grocery stores.
Mango Sorbet - I find that using sorbet is better as it has more natural mango in it, but you can use mango ice cream as well or vanilla ice cream.
How To Make Mango Halo Halo
Layer half the mango cubes on to the bottom of your serving glass.
Top it with ice, leaving some gap at the top.
Then pour in the milk.
Followed by a drizzle of mango syrup.
Add the remaining mango on top.
Then fill the rest of the gap with ice. Very lightly push it down.
Drizzle more mango syrup over the ice.
Then top with a scoop of mango sorbet.
