Bào Bīng is like an Asian snow cone, but better. You’ll find it sold by street vendors in Taiwan, but can easily be made at home in under ten minutes. It’s cold, sweet, and refreshing, especially when made with a bright, glowing mango.
The one constant is finely crushed ice. Toppings can range from simple syrup, evaporated milk, condensed milk, fresh fruit, red beans, or even ice cream. Popular fruits include mango, pineapple, strawberries, and watermelon.

Instructions
- If you can buy crushed ice, great. Otherwise, just pop a couple of handfuls in the blender and let it crush up on low speed until it forms a fine snow (or as close as you can get).
- Next, add the mango and the ice cream.
- I used vanilla, which gave the treat a lovely creaminess, but pineapple or mango sherbet would be grand as well.
- Next, pour on the sweetened condensed milk… which gives the treat a cooked, faintly caramel profile. Plus it’s fun to drizzle. Enjoy.
