Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with the base for our delightful snow flower bingsu: the milk ice. In a bowl or container, combine 300ml of milk, 100ml of water, and 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk for a touch of sweetness. If you have trouble digesting dairy or are lactose intolerant, feel free to use lactose-free or lactose-removed milk. The amount of condensed milk can be adjusted to your preference; you can always add more later when topping.
Step 2
Ensure the milk, water, and condensed milk are well mixed by shaking the container or stirring thoroughly. Then, seal the container tightly to prevent freezer burn and place it in the freezer. For the best, snow-like texture, it’s important for the milk mixture to freeze completely solid. We recommend freezing it for at least 2 days to achieve this perfect hardness.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the toppings to make our bingsu visually appealing and delicious. Gather your favorite assortment of frozen fruits and a handful of nuts for a delightful crunch. Have an additional tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk ready for drizzling. Feel free to adjust the amount of condensed milk based on how sweet you like your dessert.
Step 4
Once the milk is solidly frozen, take the ice block out of the freezer. Use a knife to break it into about 3-4 smaller pieces; this will help it blend more easily. Transfer these milk ice pieces into a food processor or a powerful blender. Process the ice until it has a fine, fluffy texture, similar to snow. Avoid over-processing, which can turn it into a liquid.
Step 5
Finally, scoop the fluffy shaved milk ice into your serving bowl. Artfully arrange your prepared frozen fruits and crunchy nuts on top. Finish by drizzling the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the bingsu in a decorative pattern. Congratulations, you’ve just created a beautiful and delicious homemade snow flower bingsu that’s perfect for a hot summer day!
