bingsu

Bingsu (shaved milky ice) is a popular Korean summer dessert. Create this classic patbingsu with a canned sweetened red bean easily at home. You don&#039;t even need a shaving machine.

milk

heavy or light cream. (optional)

tbsp sugar

(18 oz) can sweetened red beans

In a bowl whisk together milk, cream (if suing) and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour into a gallon size zip bag and laying flat in the freezer, Freeze it for at least 3 hrs.

Take the bag out of freezer and thaw in on the counter for 5-10 minutes. Using a rolling pin, pound the bag to break up the solid milk into large chunks flipping the bag back and forth. When you see the milk it broken into somewhat large slush chunk, stop the pounding.

Scoop the milk chunks into the individual serving bowls and top with red beans, about 3-4 tablespoonfuls per serving, and rice cakes if using. Drizzle with sweet condensed milk and serve immediately.

Korean Milk Ice Sorbet (Injeolmi Bingsu)

Tbsp sweetened condensed milk

scoop sweetened red bean paste

Tbsp mini mochi rice cakes

tsp Korean multi grain powder ((Misutgaru))

almond flakes

Mix the milk and sweetened condensed milk in a measuring cup with a spout. (So it’s easier to pour out). Pour out the milk mixture onto an ice tray. Freeze it (for at least 5 hrs) until it becomes ice blocks.

Take out the ice blocks and put them into a food processor (or shaved ice machine if you have one). Grind the ice (for about 20 seconds) until it has a smooth texture (like snow).

Put together all the ingredients in a chilled serving bowl in this order:- Lay down some milk sorbet (about 3 to 4 Tbsp per serving bowl) in the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle 1 tsp of multi grain powder. Lay down more milk sorbet (about 3 to 4 Tbsp per serving bowl) on top of the multi grain powder. Sprinkle 1 tsp of multi grain powder. Add some rice cakes (Injeolmi and mini mochi rice cakes) and red bean paste. Sprinkle almond flakes. Serve.

Korean shaved ice desserts (bingsu) are a fun and delicious way to cool down in the summer. My favorite is the traditional patbingsu with sweet red beans, soft soft rice cakes (injeolmi) and fruits. I&#039;ve been eating it every summer for my whole life!

How to make sweet red beans

Pick out any broken or brownish beans and discard them. Put the good beans in a strainer. Rinse them under cold running water, then transfer them to a large, heavy saucepan. Add 4½ cups water and cover. Place over medium-high heat and cook for 10 minutes until the water is boiling. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes, until the beans are tender but not mushy. Remove from the heat and drain. Return the beans to the pot and add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir with a wooden spoon for about 4 to 5 minutes over low heat, until the beans are drizzle-able. Allow the beans to cool thoroughly. Transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

How to make injeolmi rice cake

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, salt, and water. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a spoon until it becomes smooth. Cover the bowl with heat-resistant plastic wrap, making sure to leave a small gap for steam to escape. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave and uncover it. Hold the bowl steady with a kitchen cloth to protect your hand from the heat, then use a small wooden spoon to vigorously stir the mixture until it becomes elastic. Prepare a cutting board and sprinkle soybean powder on it. Transfer the hot rice cake onto the soybean powder. To prevent sticking, lightly wet your fingertips with cold water. Now, flip the rice cake over with your hands, pressing and shaping it into a square shape. Use a kitchen knife to cut the square into small pieces.

How to put the patbingsu together!

Begin by refrigerating a 2- to 3-cup serving bowl until it becomes cold. This will help keep the patbingsu chilled while serving. Once the bowl is cold, place 2 cups of shaved ice in the bowl as the first layer. Gently drizzle the whole milk over the sweet red beans. Add ½ cup of sweet red beans over the shaved ice. Add the mango and strawberry pieces (or fruits of your choice). Take the remaining 1 cup of shaved ice and build it up on top of the fruits, creating a mountain-like appearance. Add a ½ cup of sweet red beans over the shaved ice mountain. Place the rice cakes on the top layer. Drizzle the condensed milk over the entire patbingsu, adding a touch of sweetness and flavor.

Serve

Serve the patbingsu immediately with a spoon. Mix and eat the different layers together.
