- What can I replace the ice shaver with?
- Put the ice in a bag and crush it with a meat tenderiser, or use the 'crushed ice' function on your blender.
Black sesame bingsu
Bingsu is more than a slush puppy: it is 'snowflake'. The ice is shaved so finely that it melts instantly on the tongue. The nutty, earthy flavour of black sesame (kurogoma) and the sweetness of condensed milk are a classic Asian pairing.

Instructions
1
✓
Mix the sesame paste with the milk to thin it out so it's pourable.
Tip: If grinding sesame seeds yourself, toast them beforehand to release their oils, and grind with sugar until creamy.
2
✓
Melt the chocolate.
3
✓
Shave the ice to a snowflake consistency.
Tip: Work immediately, as it melts quickly and clumps together.
4
✓
Pile the ice into a bowl. Drizzle over the condensed milk (this sweetens the ice).
5
✓
Pour over the sesame cream and the chocolate, and sprinkle with the seeds.
Tip: Thick toppings don't run to the bottom immediately, but coat the ice crystals.
