Drain all canned or jarred toppings — ½ cup sweetened red beans (adzuki) canned or jarred, drained, ½ cup nata de coco (coconut gel) drained, ½ cup kaong (sugar palm fruit) drained; white or pink variety, ½ cup sweetened jackfruit (langka) sliced into strips, ½ cup macapuno strings (coconut sport) drained; or substitute sweetened shredded coconut, and ½ cup sweetened white beans (kabayo) canned, drained; or substitute chickpeas — and transfer each to small Mixing Bowls. Slice the 4 slice leche flan cut into cubes; store-bought or homemade into bite-sized cubes and slice the 1 medium ripe banana sliced into rounds into rounds. Set everything out assembly-line style so building each glass is quick and easy.

Into each tall Glass (Large) or large Mixing Bowl, add 2–3 tablespoons each of the ½ cup sweetened red beans (adzuki) canned or jarred, drained, ½ cup nata de coco (coconut gel) drained, ½ cup kaong (sugar palm fruit) drained; white or pink variety, ½ cup sweetened jackfruit (langka) sliced into strips, ½ cup macapuno strings (coconut sport) drained; or substitute sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 medium ripe banana sliced into rounds slices. Spoon in a tablespoon of ½ cup ube halaya (purple yam jam) store-bought or homemade and nestle in a few cubes of 4 slice leche flan cut into cubes; store-bought or homemade. The layering order is flexible — variety and color are the goal.

Pile 1½ to 2 cups of finely 8 cups shaved ice finely shaved; not crushed ice over the toppings in each Glass (Large), mounding it generously above the rim. 8 cups shaved ice finely shaved; not crushed ice (not crushed) is key — it should be light and fluffy so it absorbs the milk and melts into the toppings rather than sitting on top.

Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of chilled ½ cup evaporated milk chilled over the 8 cups shaved ice finely shaved; not crushed ice in each Glass (Large). Place one scoop of 4 piece ube ice cream 1 scoop per glass on top, then garnish with a sprinkle of 4 tbsp pinipig (toasted puffed rice) for crunch topping for crunch. Serve immediately with a long spoon and straw — the fun is mixing everything together before eating.
