Today I will be sharing a famous Filipino dessert, a famous dessert during the Summer season but still can be eaten at any time of the year. To cool off in the tropical heat, Filipinos do one of three things: head for the nearest air-conditioned shopping centre, dip into a swimming pool or indulge themselves with a cup of their favourite ice-cold Halo-halo. It’s a Filipino dessert classic that warms the hearts of many Filipinos and is an absolute must-try when visiting the country.



Halo-Halo is made from shaved ice, evaporated milk, and lots of sweet toppings like jellies, beans, corn, candied fruit, banana, jackfruit, ube halaya (sweetened mashed yam), and even sometimes pieces of Leche flan (Filipino sweet custard). To top off the tip, a scoop or two of ice cream. Halo Halo is literally means Mix Mix.
