The method
Step by step
- 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into uniform pieces.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: For the best flavor and texture, choose ripe, firm strawberries.
- 2
Peel the kiwi and dice it into small, bite-sized cubes.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: To easily peel a kiwi, cut off both ends, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the skin.
- 3
Peel the mango and dice it into small, consistent pieces.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: To avoid a slippery mess, use a mango splitter or slice the mango cheeks off the pit, then score the flesh in a grid pattern before scooping.
- 4
Finely shave the ice using a dedicated ice shaver until it achieves a fluffy, snow-like consistency.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: If using a blender, ensure it's powerful enough for ice. Blend in small batches, pulsing until the ice is very fine and resembles fresh snow, not slush.
- 5
Divide the freshly shaved ice evenly into two chilled serving bowls.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Chilling your bowls beforehand will help keep the shaved ice from melting too quickly.
- 6
Spoon the sweet red bean paste generously over the center of the shaved ice in each bowl.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the red bean paste is at room temperature for easier spreading and better integration with the cold ice.
- 7
Artfully arrange the sliced strawberries, diced kiwi, and diced mango around the red bean paste on top of the ice.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Consider creating a colorful pattern or distinct sections with each fruit for a visually appealing presentation.
- 8
Drizzle condensed milk over the fruit and red bean paste, adjusting the amount to your desired sweetness.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: For a lighter option, you can substitute condensed milk with a touch of honey or a sugar-free syrup.
- 9
Scatter the mini mochi over the toppings for added texture and chewiness.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: If you can't find mini mochi, small pieces of rice cake or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream make excellent alternatives.
- 10
Serve the Patbingsu immediately to enjoy its refreshing chill and delightful textures before the ice melts.
Cook’s note: Provide long spoons for guests to easily mix and enjoy all the layers of this delicious dessert.

Keep it good
This Patbingsu is a fantastic canvas for creativity! Feel free to experiment with other toppings like chopped nuts, cereal flakes, a scoop of ice cream, or different fruit combinations such as blueberries, peaches, or honeydew. For a truly authentic experience, serve with a side of small tteok (rice cakes). It pairs wonderfully with a light, unsweetened iced tea.
Patbingsu is best enjoyed immediately as the shaved ice will melt quickly. It cannot be stored.
