How to make Mais con Yelo, a sweet and refreshing shaved ice drink.
Mais con Yelo Recipe – A delicious and mouth-watering salad drink to enjoy this summer. Mais con Yelo is made of layered shaved ice, sweet cream of corn, corn kernels, white kaong in heavy syrup, evap milk and finish it with a drizzle of condensed milk and corn flakes. This salad drink is purely rich and creamy, a perfect summer treat for the Sweet Corn Lovers out there!
This is one of the easiest, rich and satisfying frozen drink to prepare. Mais con Yelo is also known as “Maiz con Hielo” it’s kinda similar to Halo-Halo but it doesn’t take much time to prepare, no cooking involved and less sweet condiments. The ingredient was use are already pre-cooked and mostly in canned such as Kaong in Heavy Syrup, Sweet Corn Kernels, and Corn in Cream. Sounds not healthy and fresh, but there’s milk a good source of calcium… LOL This drink is very refreshing and delicious, so what are we waiting for, the Sun is Up and the Heat is On! So lets start…
Makes: 4-6 Tall Glasses
Ingredients and Procedure of Mais con Yelo:
Here’s our Simple Ingredients:
Crushed Ice, Sweet Corn Kernels, Cream of Corn, Kaong in Heavy Syrup, Evaporated Milk + Condensed Milk and Corn Flakes. You can also you use freshly steamed sweet corn kernels if you like. I also add White Kaong or Nata de Coco in this recipe, but this is optional. I just like to have extra texture and to balance out the richness of the cream of corn.
Mostly, Mais con Yelo uses sugar, but I choose to use condensed milk instead, it’s sweet and creamier. You can also try the Alaska Crema-Asada, it’s a 2-in-1 “sweet and creamy”.
