Maíz con Hielo

Sweet corn, milk, and crushed ice come together in this chilled Filipino dessert. Each serving is assembled in a glass or bowl, with room for a scoop of ice cream or a crunchy cereal topping. Stir the layers together just before eating.

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked sweet corn kernels, cooled

• 2 cups shaved or finely crushed ice

• 2 cups milk

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

• Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, crisp rice cereal, cornflakes, or small pieces of flan

Directions

1. Prepare the corn. If using canned corn, drain it well; if using frozen corn, cook it as directed on the package and let it cool.

2. Use a shaved ice machine or an ice-crushing blender to prepare 2 cups of ice. Assemble the desserts promptly so the ice stays frozen.

3. Divide the corn between four glasses or bowls, using 1/2 cup in each.

4. Add 1/2 cup of ice to each serving, followed by 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar.

5. Pour 1/2 cup of milk into each glass or bowl.

6. Add your chosen toppings and serve immediately with spoons. Mix the corn, milk, sugar, and ice together as you eat.
