Sapin-sapin is a distinctly colorful dessert that quite literally means ‘layers.’. And when you stop and think about it, so many cultures have a beloved shaved ice dish.

The beauty of this national dish is that it’s totally up to you how you make it, so long as you have the basics: sweet fruits, shaved ice, evaporated milk, and ice cream. But since it’s a bit difficult to find, using crispy rice cereal is a great substitute. “Creamy heaven” is more accurate :)įinally the ice cream is topped with pinipig, or toasted flat rice. Cassava, too, is a versatile base ingredient in the desserts arsenal, the starchy root taking place of all-purpose. I suppose it tastes like a yam, but that doesn’t do it justice. The big aesthetic shocker is ube, a bright purplelike Grimace purpleyam, is a base starch valued for its innate sweetness and unmatched visual appeal, its flavor worked into bread doughs, cakes, cookies, crackers, and more. Halo-halo is a popular Filipino dessert made out of mixed beans (kidney beans, garbanzos, sugar palm fruit, pounded crushed young rice), fruits (coconut sport, plantains caramelized in sugar, jackfruit), gulaman, tapioca pearls, nata de coco and sweet potato served with milk flavoured shaved ice topped with purple yam, leche flan and sometimes ice cream. Ube ice cream isn’t overly sweet, which is why I love it. Ube is a sweet yam that has the most gorgeous natural purple color. What the heck is ube?! It’s the stuff that dreams are made of, that’s what. Now for the non-negotiable part: you must top the ice with Ube ice cream (and in our house, also Mango ice cream).
