Baobing is a simple dessert consisting of finely shaved ice and fresh fruit such as mangoes, litchis, and rambutans. It is usually topped with condensed milk, flavored sugar syrup, mung beans, and peanuts. Baobing is especially popular during the hot summer days in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, when it can be found on numerous night markets, among tofu and pancakes stands.

The history of baobing can be traced back to more than 1000 years. It was consumed in China as early as the 7th century. Today, the dessert has evolved and can even be found in some Asian restaurants in the United States.
