What you'll need
- Stand mixer — Hands-free creaming and whipping — the most time-saving machine in a baker's kitchen.
- Kitchen scale — Baking by weight is more accurate than cups — 1 g = 1 g, always.
- Silicone baking mat — No parchment waste, uniform browning, nothing sticks.
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix coconut milk with honey and vanilla extract for the base syrup. Chill until ready to serve.
- Divide the roasted purple sweet potato, mashed red beans, banana, mango, and almond jelly among the bottoms of tall glasses.
- Pack a tall mound of shaved ice on top of each glass and pour the chilled coconut syrup over the ice.
- Serve immediately with long spoons and stir well before eating — 'halo-halo' means 'mix-mix.'
