Nota de cuina: Vary the order of these layers slightly in each glass for a visually appealing presentation and a surprise with every spoonful.
- 6
Carefully fill each glass with a generous amount of finely shaved ice, mounding it slightly above the rim.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: For the best texture, use finely shaved ice rather than crushed ice, as it absorbs the milk and flavors more effectively.
- 7
Place one piece of leche flan gently on top of the shaved ice in each glass.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Position the leche flan slightly off-center to make room for the ice cream and other toppings.

Scoop one generous portion of ube ice cream onto the shaved ice in each glass, nestling it beside or on top of the leche flan.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure the ube ice cream is firm but scoopable for the best presentation and texture.
- 9
Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk over the ube ice cream and shaved ice in each glass.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Adjust the amount of evaporated milk to your personal preference for creaminess and sweetness; some prefer more, some less.

Optionally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted pinipig over the top of each Halo-Halo for an added crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

Nota de cuina: If you don't have pinipig, a light sprinkle of toasted rice flakes or even crushed cornflakes can provide a similar crunch.

Serve the Halo-Halo immediately with a long spoon, encouraging guests to mix all the components together before enjoying.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: The true joy of Halo-Halo comes from mixing all the diverse ingredients, allowing the flavors and textures to meld into a unique experience.
Conservació
Halo-Halo is a fantastic dessert for gatherings, as guests can customize their own bowls with preferred toppings. For an extra touch, consider offering additional toppings like sweetened condensed milk, fruit preserves, or even a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes. Pair this refreshing treat with savory Filipino dishes like adobo or sinigang for a complete culinary experience.
Halo-Halo is best enjoyed immediately after preparation as the shaved ice will melt quickly. It cannot be stored for later consumption.
This dessert is served cold and cannot be reheated.
