Ingredients
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sweet corn, canned or boiled fresh
- ½ cup shaved ice
- 4 teaspoons sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons evaporated milk, or milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons corn flake cereal
- 1 scoop corn ice cream, or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the base layers: In a serving glass, add 2 tablespoons of sweet corn followed by a layer of shaved ice. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the ice and pour approximately 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk on top to add creaminess.
- Create additional layers (optional): If desired, add another layer by repeating sweet corn, shaved ice, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk, building a multi-layered texture in the glass.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the corn flake cereal over the top layer of ice to provide a crunchy texture contrast.
- Finish with ice cream: Place a scoop of corn or vanilla ice cream on top of the dessert. For extra sweetness, drizzle additional sweetened condensed milk over the ice cream. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing cold dessert at its best.
Notes
- Use fresh or canned sweet corn depending on availability.
- You can substitute evaporated milk with any milk of choice, including non-dairy options.
- Corn ice cream gives the dessert a richer corn flavor, but vanilla ice cream works well too.
- Serve immediately to prevent the shaved ice from melting.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk.
