Summer is almost over but the heat won't get us through! It's so hot it just makes us want to indulge in cold, scrumptious treats, every single day! And what's better than shaved ice top with "everything nice" for a summer treat? Halo-Halo? Yes, but it ain't just your typical Halo-Halo. Ever tried the "Korean Halo-Halo?" Well, it's cool, simple yet unique in so many levels!
Bingsu is a popular Korean dessert usually enjoyed during the summer. Just like our very own Halo-Halo, it is composed of shaved/crushed ice typically with various fruits, sweet rice cakes, red beans and topped with either yogurt, whipped cream or ice cream. Because of it's simplicity ( since it's typically "halo-halo"), there are tons of variations of Bingsu that everyone can easily make depending on their own taste. And since I am madly obsessed with coffee, let me share you my Coffee Crunch Bingsu, of course made special by San Miguel Purefoods Products.
