🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
✓ 3/4 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
✓ 2 tbsp coconut cream (light)
✓ 1.5 tbsp honey or agave nectar
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 1 cup canned adzuki red beans (drained, rinsed)
✓ 4 oz homemade tteok (Korean mochi) or store-bought, cubed
✓ 4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
✓ 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
✓ 2 tbsp roasted pine nuts or sesame seeds
✓ 4 ice cube trays + shaved ice maker (or blender)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Shaved Ice Base: In a blender, combine 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp light coconut cream, 1.5 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth, 45 seconds. Strain through fine mesh to remove any foam. Divide evenly among 4 ice cube trays.

2. Freeze the Base: Freeze ice cube trays for at least 8 hours or overnight until completely solid. This ensures fine, uniform crystals when shaved.

3. Prepare Red Bean Layer: Drain and rinse 1 cup canned adzuki beans thoroughly. Pat dry with paper towels. Divide evenly into 4 parfait glasses (about 1/4 cup per glass). Set aside.

4. Cook or Prepare Tteok: If using homemade tteok: prepare according to package directions (usually boil until they float, then 1 minute more). If store-bought, simply cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Let cool to room temperature. You'll need about 4 oz total, roughly 1 oz per glass.

5. Mix Condensed & Evaporated Milk Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup evaporated skim milk until uniform. This lightens the sweetness while maintaining the signature drizzle effect.

6. Shave the Frozen Base: Remove ice cube trays from freezer. Using a shaved ice maker, electric ice shaver, or high-powered blender on pulse mode, shave the frozen cubes into fine, snow-like flakes. Work quickly and layer immediately (ice melts fast). You'll have roughly 3 cups shaved ice total.

7. Layer in Parfait Glasses: Over the red bean base in each glass, add 1/3 cup shaved ice. Gently press down to compact slightly. Layer 1 oz cooked tteok cubes on top. Add another 1/3 cup shaved ice. Press gently again.

8. Drizzle & Garnish: Pour 1.5 tbsp of the condensed-evaporated milk mixture over the top of each parfait, letting it flood down the sides. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tbsp roasted pine nuts or sesame seeds for crunch and authenticity.

9. Serve Immediately: Bingsu must be served ice-cold. Prepare no more than 5 minutes before serving. Provide spoons to break through the layers and mix all components with every bite.
