Step by Step

How to Cook

1. 1

   Prepare all toppings in advance. Sweetened beans and fruits can be made from scratch or sourced from a Filipino grocery store.

2. 2

   In a tall glass, layer the sweetened beans, jackfruit, plantain, macapuno, nata de coco, and kaong.

3. 3

   Pack shaved ice generously on top of the toppings, mounding it high above the glass.

4. 4

   Drizzle evaporated milk over the shaved ice.

5. 5

   Place a slice of leche flan on top of the ice.

6. 6

   Add a scoop of ube ice cream and a spoonful of ube halaya.

7. 7

   Sprinkle pinipig on top for crunch.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with a long spoon. Mix everything together before eating — that is the halo-halo way.
