What Is Mango Bingsu ?
Bingsu (빙수) is a traditional Korean shaved ice dessert, usually made with finely shaved milk ice instead of water ice. Mango bingsu (망고 빙수) is one of the most loved versions, especially in summer, thanks to its:
• creamy texture
• tropical mango flavor
• soft, snow-like ice
This homemade version is easy, no-fuss, and perfect if you don’t have special equipment.

• Whole milk – 3 cups
• Condensed milk – 1 cup
• Heavy cream – 1 cup
• Water – 1 cup
𐙚 Toppings :
• 2 ripe mangoes
• Vanilla ice cream (optional, but recommended for extra creaminess)
How to Make Mango Bingsu at Home :
♡ Step 1 – Prepare the mango :
Peel and cut 1 mango, then blend it into a smooth puree.
If you don’t have a blender, finely chop the mango until it becomes soft and juicy.
Set aside the second mango and cut it into small cubes for topping.
♡ Step 2 – Mix the bingsu base :
In a bowl, combine:
• mango puree
• whole milk
• condensed milk
Mix well until smooth, creamy, and evenly blended.
♡ Step 3 – Freeze the mixture :
Pour the mixture into a shallow container or a ziplock bag.
Freeze until completely solid, about 4 hours or overnight.
♡ Step 4 – Shave the ice :
Once frozen:
• Use an ice shaver or blender to shave the milk ice finely
No blender?
Place the frozen block in a bag and gently crush it using:
• a rolling pin
• or a meat mallet
You’re aiming for soft, fluffy ice — like snow ❄️
♡ Step 5 – Assemble the mango bingsu :
In a bowl:
1. Add a generous layer of shaved milk ice
2. Top with fresh mango cubes
3. Add more shaved ice
4. Finish with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)
Serve immediately and enjoy while cold and creamy.
♡ Tips for the Best Homemade Mango Bingsu :
• Use very ripe mangoes for natural sweetness
• Freeze the mixture flat for easier shaving
• Don’t over-blend the ice — texture matters
• Serve immediately for the best snow-like consistency
♡ Is Mango Bingsu Sweet ?
Mango bingsu is mildly sweet, creamy, and refreshing.
You can adjust sweetness by:
• adding more condensed milk
• or serving it with extra mango puree on top
