A light and creamy Taiwanese dessert featuring finely shaved milk ice topped with juicy mango chunks, perfect for cooling down on hot summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (choose fragrant, sweet varieties like Ataulfo or Kent)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk (for creamier ice, substitute half with heavy cream)
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (optional garnish)
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups whole milk, 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Whisk until sugar dissolves completely, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Pour the milk mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf pan. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely solid.
  3. Peel and dice the mangoes into ½-inch cubes. Toss with 1 teaspoon lemon juice if desired. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
  4. Remove the frozen milk block from the freezer. Using an electric ice shaver, shave the milk block into thin, fluffy ice layers directly into serving bowls. If using a food processor, pulse quickly in short bursts to avoid melting the ice.
  5. Heap the shaved milk ice into bowls, creating a soft mountain. Generously top with diced mango chunks. Drizzle additional sweetened condensed milk over the top for extra creaminess.
  6. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
  7. Serve immediately before the ice melts. (Tip: Chill serving bowls in the freezer beforehand to keep the ice from melting quickly.)

Notes

Use a shallow metal pan to speed up freezing and create a consistent texture. Shave slowly and gently for delicate, snow-like flakes. Chill mango, bowls, and utensils beforehand to slow melting. Adjust sugar based on mango sweetness. For dairy-free, substitute whole milk with coconut milk and use vegan condensed milk alternatives. Serve immediately for best texture.
