Halo-Halo A Filipino Dessert

      Halo-Halo A Filipino Dessert

      Halo halo is a famous Filipino dessert alternative to ice cream and their kinds. “Halo” means “mix” the Filipino dialect. So the word halo-halo literally means mix-mix. To have the complete idea, halo halo is a dessert composed of sweetened fruits like banana (saba), jackfruit (langka), coconut sport strips (macapuno), sweetened beans and purple yam, crushed ice and creamy milk all mixed together. There are so many varieties of halo halo recipes depending on your favorite ingredients and taste. They usually top it with ice cream, too. Summer won’t be complete without a tall glass of my favorite halohalo. As to how we eat it? Commonly, we eat it by mixing and stirring all the ingredients together til the ice blends with them.

How to prepare a Halo-Halo:

 * Put all ingredients to a glass or a bowl except for the milk, ice cream, leche flan.

 * Put shaved ice on the glass, pour the milk according to your taste and top it with leche flan, and ice cream.

 There are other options for your ingredients; you can add crushed pinipig, bananas and even strawberries. It's up to you!
