One of Korea’s signature desserts is called Bingsu. This cold dessert is made with a base of shaved frozen milk or cream. The shaved milk is put into a bowl and toppings are added to it. The traditional topping is red beans, and when it is prepared this way, it is called 팥빙수 (Pat-Bingsu). However, other popular ways of preparing it include fruit toppings, such as strawberries, blueberries, and mangos. In addition, there is a selection of sweeter Bingsu flavors, such as Oreo, chocolate brownie, and cheesecake.
