Korean Shaved Ice Patbingsu 팥빙수

photo19-3

Pat means sweet red bean and bingsu means shaved ice.

That’s all you really need to know because beyond that, you squish in what fits in.  I tumbled in chunks of fruit that happened to be on sale at my market.  You can literally add whatever you want to.  Chocolate/peanut butter, liquid cheesecake, guava syrup, crunchy cereals, crumbled cookies, toasted nuts/coconuts, lychee…whatever!

It’s such a popular dessert in Korea and maybe so because it gets H.O.T!  Not to mention, there’s so much walking to be done.  Whenever I visit Korea, I gain about 20 lbs because I’m going pretty hard on all the exciting, stimulating flavors happening all over the place and lose it right back because of the heat + active spirit of everyone around you.

The first thing you’ll want to do is prepare your mochi.  You can omit the coffee for water if you don’t want a “mocha flavor.”

  • ¼ c rice cake bites/mochi
  • 2-4 tb sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
  1. In a serving dish, layer all of your ingredients together.
  2. Finish off with a generous drizzle of sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Mix the whole thing together before eating.

My dad had like, 6 servings of this.  Fortunately, I guess we’re wired to be immune to brain freezes.

Confession #567, I’ve never had a brain freeze and don’t even know what they feel like.

Hope y’all are staying cool!

XOXO

Your Squishy Monster
