Mango Bingsu: Korean Mango Shaved Ice
Mango Bingsu is a refreshing Korean shaved ice dessert featuring sweet mangoes, creamy condensed milk, and a touch of coconut flakes. Perfect for hot summer days!
Ingredients
- 4 cups Shaved Ice
- 2 large, ripe Fresh Mango
- 1/2 cup Mango Puree
- 2-3 tablespoons Condensed Milk
- 1-2 tablespoons Coconut Flakes (optional)

Prepare the Mango
Peel and dice one and a half mangoes. Puree the remaining half mango using a blender or food processor until smooth.
Prepare the Shaved Ice
Use a shaved ice machine or blender to create finely shaved ice. If using a blender, pulse ice cubes until you achieve a snow-like consistency.
Assemble the Bingsu
In a bowl, place the shaved ice. Drizzle mango puree over the ice. Arrange the diced mango pieces around the puree.
Add Sweetness and Toppings
Drizzle condensed milk generously over the shaved ice and mango. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the top (if using). Add mango ice cream (if using).
Serve Immediately
Serve the mango bingsu immediately to prevent the shaved ice from melting. Enjoy the refreshing and tropical flavors!
