Mais Con Yelo
Mais con Yelo is a quick and refreshing Filipino dessert, made with sweet corn, creamy milk and shaved ice with a touch of sugar. It’s often enjoyed as a simple treat, but many love it with added toppings such as toasted rice krispies, crushed cornflakes, or even a scoop of ice cream.
Together with the beloved halo-halo, Mais Con Yelo is one of the most emblematic of the Philippines’ summer desserts, and both use a crushed ice base, drizzled with sweet milk.
