Making mango syrup for shaved ice

Making shaved ice

  • Crush the ice using a rolling pin or mallet until you get a coarse texture.
  • Transfer the crushed ice to a blender or food processor.
  • Pulse or blend the crushed ice in short bursts until you achieve a fine, snow-like texture. Be cautious not to overblend.

Assemble Mango Shaved Ice Kakigori

  • Divide the shaved ice among four serving bowls.
  • Drizzle the condensed milk first and then add the mango syrup over the shaved ice.
  • Spoon the diced mango on top
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
