A beloved Taiwanese ice dessert, mango shaved ice is typically made by shaving mango-flavored ice into a bowl and serving the ice shavings with fresh mango cubes and condensed milk. Other typical accompaniments to the dessert include different types of fresh fruit such as strawberries or kiwi, scoops of mango or vanilla ice cream, pannacotta, sorbet, and jelly.

Enjoyed both in summer and winter, this dessert typically has a smooth and melt-in-your-mouth texture and is defined by a fresh, fruity flavor with a mild sweetness.
