Mango bingsu

망고빙수

What exactly is it?

Mango pieces or mango sauce top shaved ice. Fresh versus frozen fruit and milk versus water ice change both texture and price. The yellow color alone does not tell you the type or quantity of fresh mango used.

Main ingredients

Shaved water or milk ice and mango; optional mango sauce, condensed milk or cheese

Ordering and serving

Compare serving size before comparing prices. A fresh apple-mango bowl may have a different composition from a mango-sauce dessert.

Origins and changes

This is one of the fruit-based developments of bingsu. Presentations range from large fruit-topped bowls to cups mixing small pieces with sauce.

How to eat it
Try a spoonful before adding condensed milk. If avoiding dairy, check the ice itself as well as the toppings.
