Ingredients
- Milk 500ml
- Store-bought red bean paste for bingsu 200g
- Store-bought bingsu rice cakes 100g
- Fruit cocktail 1/4 can
- Sweetened condensed milk, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Since this milk Patbingsu recipe primarily uses store-bought items, feel free to adjust the quantities of red bean paste, rice cakes, and fruit cocktail according to your preference. Prepare as much as you like!
Step 2
To create the signature smooth milk ice flakes, pour 500ml of milk into a freezer-safe container (like an ice cube tray) the night before or at least 6 hours in advance. Freeze until solid. Ensuring it’s completely frozen is key.
Step 3
Take the solidly frozen milk and place it in a bingsu machine or a blender. Shave or blend it finely. If you blend it too finely, it might become very dense like ice cream; for a more traditional bingsu texture, you can blend it slightly coarser, depending on your preference. If using a blender, stop occasionally to mix the chunks and continue blending.
Step 4
Transfer the finely shaved or blended milk ice into your serving bowl. Filling the bowl about two-thirds full will make it easier to arrange the other toppings.
Step 5
Generously spoon the store-bought red bean paste over the milk ice flakes, according to your taste. The red bean paste is the heart of the bingsu’s flavor, so don’t be shy with the amount!
Step 6
On top of the red bean paste, artfully arrange the chewy bingsu rice cakes, followed by the drained fruit cocktail for a touch of freshness. The colorful fruits will make your bingsu look even more appealing.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the bingsu to add a delightful sweetness. I drizzled it twice around the top to enhance the sweetness. You can adjust the amount of condensed milk to control the sweetness level.
Step 8
Voila! Your homemade milk Patbingsu, wonderfully soft, nutty, sweet, and refreshing, is ready. Feel free to add other toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or ice cream according to your liking for an even richer dessert experience. Make a cool and delicious summer treat with these simple ingredients!
