Notes
You can find most of these ingredients, along with an ice shaver, at an Asian grocer. You can also add or substitute your favorite kinds of fruit, but the macapuno strings and mango make it quintessentially Filipino. I'm not a huge fan of purple yam, and think papaya makes a great alternative.

Fun! It’s a twist on the sno-cone, which I LOVE.

It’s yummy and kids love it too! I remember using a little bit of condensed milk instead of evaporated sometimes – I can only imagine the sugar high I was on afterwards!
