Instructions
1
Prep
Chill two tall 450ml glasses or footed sundae dishes in the freezer for 10 minutes until very cold. Ensure all components—beans, kaong, nata de coco, macapuno, corn, jackfruit, ube halaya, leche flan—are drained and ready. Chill evaporated milk.

Layer sweet components in each chilled glass in order: 2 tbsp red mung beans, 2 tbsp white kidney beans, 2 tbsp kaong, 2 tbsp nata de coco, 2 tbsp macapuno, 1 tbsp sweet corn, and 2 tbsp jackfruit slices per glass. Keep each layer visible against the glass wall.

Spoon 1 tbsp ube halaya in a generous dollop over the fruit layer in each glass. Scatter half of the diced leche flan (approximately 30g per glass) evenly over the ube halaya.

Pack crushed shaved ice over the top in a tall mountain shape in each glass, filling just above the rim. Pour 60ml chilled evaporated milk slowly and evenly over the ice in each glass so it trickles through layers. Drizzle 1 tbsp condensed milk over the top of each.

Plate
Crown each with a scoop of ube ice cream and sprinkle 1 tbsp pinipig rice crispies over. Serve immediately with a long spoon for vigorous table-side mixing before eating.
