Maíz con hielo

Maíz con hielo is a traditional cold snack or a dessert originating from the Philippines. This variation on the more famous halo-halo is made with a combination of shaved ice, corn, milk, and sugar. The shaved ice is placed into a tall glass, and then topped with evaporated milk, sweet corn kernels, and sugar.


There are variations on maíz con hielo, so scoops of vanilla ice cream are also sometimes added to the mix. Before eating, this sweet and refreshing dessert is well-stirred. It is especially popular during hot summer months.
