Instructions

1
For milk ice: pour whole milk into ice cube trays and freeze overnight until solid. Alternatively, use a 1:1 mixture of whole milk and water for a lighter base.
2
If making red bean from scratch: soak red beans overnight, drain, and cook with fresh water for 60 minutes until very soft. Add sugar and a pinch of salt, mash roughly so some beans remain whole for texture. Cool completely.
3
Shave the frozen milk cubes in a shaved ice machine until you achieve a fine, snow-like texture. Pile it high into a bowl — it should be at least 6 inches tall. Good bingsu ice is airy and light like snow, not icy or grainy.
4
Top the mound with generous spoonfuls of red bean paste, sliced mochi, and rice cakes. Drizzle condensed milk over everything.
5
Add optional toppings of your choice. Serve immediately and eat fast — bingsu melts quickly. The milk-soaked red bean at the bottom of the bowl is the best bite.
