Korean Shaved Ice Patbingsu 팥빙수
Pat means sweet red bean and bingsu means shaved ice.
That’s all you really need to know because beyond that, you squish in what fits in. I tumbled in chunks of fruit that happened to be on sale at my market. You can literally add whatever you want to. Chocolate/peanut butter, liquid cheesecake, guava syrup, crunchy cereals, crumbled cookies, toasted nuts/coconuts, lychee…whatever!
It’s such a popular dessert in Korea and maybe so because it gets H.O.T! Not to mention, there’s so much walking to be done. Whenever I visit Korea, I gain about 20 lbs because I’m going pretty hard on all the exciting, stimulating flavors happening all over the place and lose it right back because of the heat + active spirit of everyone around you.
The first thing you’ll want to do is prepare your mochi. You can omit the coffee for water if you don’t want a “mocha flavor.”
- 2 c shaved ice
- ¼-1/2 c each of any fresh fruit
- ¼ c sweetened red beans (not paste)
- ¼ c rice cake bites/mochi
- 2-4 tb sweetened condensed milk
- In a serving dish, layer all of your ingredients together.
- Finish off with a generous drizzle of sweetened condensed milk.
- Mix the whole thing together before eating.
My dad had like, 6 servings of this. Fortunately, I guess we’re wired to be immune to brain freezes.
Confession #567, I’ve never had a brain freeze and don’t even know what they feel like.
Hope y’all are staying cool!
XOXO
Your Squishy Monster

Hey Jess! Hope you’re having a great day!! Potbingsu makes it even better
aw, you are too sweet =D
a bucket of shaved ice by a tropical beach, THAT would be amazing, no? ^.^
I hear, I guess I’m lucky in that way but my body revolts in other, mean ways
I was a bit over zealous with it not even being summer yet, but what can I say, lol
Hey girl! Dad loves it like crazy, I used to hate it as a kid and can’t even remember why now, lol.
Um I LOVE shaved ice. I used to have a pink koala shaver when I was little! But the ice that came out was always too chunky for my liking so we got rid of it. MMM now I really want some yummy shaved ice!
I think Teddy is really a Koala, lol.
Thanks for the recipe. This seems very simple yet looks so delicious. I’ll be trying this out this weekend =)
Thanks for visiting with me, Brenda…have a great weekend!
