How to Make Halo Halo

Since I know you've all been wondering, and I didn't want to keep you in suspense any longer....here you are!

First of all, you get a large coconut, hack the top off, and use this to dump all the ingredients in. Note: if you don’t have a coconut handy, that’s fine, you can use any other holding device and it will still be legit.

Here’s a list of suggested ingredients. Basically, if you’re missing something, don’t fret, just improvise with something else. I’d swear that’s how the recipe got to where it is today anyways.

Okay, what you need:

A bunch of crushed-up ice

Ube ice cream (it’s purple and kind of looks like play-dough)

Other flavors of ice cream. (try corn ice cream...it's....interesting)

Corn

Brightly colored cubes of jello

Cheese (chunks, or in strips)

Rice Krispies

Squash...uh yam maybe.....

Fruit (like the kind in fruit cocktale)

Fruit (like the real thing)…mango’s always a good choice.

Beans

Flann

Pressed rice (it looks like oatmeal.....which makes me think you could use oatmeal too)

Jam (well it sure looked like jam to me)

Syrup

Potato cubes (cooked, of course)

Small round colored ball things that look like fish eggs, but bigger

Peanuts

Maybe some sugar

Sweet potato

Marshmallows

Corn flakes (to sprinkle on top)

And make sure you scoop out the coconut from the coconut shell when you’re eating it.

Directions: in an orderly fashion, dump everything into the container you’re going to serve it in, the only specification being the ube ice cream starts on the top. Then serve it. It is up to the eater to “halo halo”…“Mix! Mix!”

I’ll bet you a halo halo you’ll come back for more!

Love,
