Bingsu (빙수) is Korea’s iconic summer dessert—think of it as a snow cone leveled up with elegance and texture. Instead of crushed ice, it’s made with ultra-fine shaved milk ice, giving it a soft and fluffy consistency. The base is lightly sweetened and often with milk blended in for creaminess.

Some popular toppings include:

  • Fresh fruits like mango, strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries

  • Sweet red beans (pat) for the classic patbingsu version

  • Condensed milk drizzled generously for richness

  • Injeolmi (rice cakes) and roasted soybean powder for nutty chew

  • Ice cream, cereal flakes, or boba pearls for modern café twists
