Ode To Halo-Halo
- 2 very ripe bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Kosher salt
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries (about 1 cup)
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries (about 1 1/2 cups), cut in half if large
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups shaved ice
- 1/2 pint vanilla or coconut ice cream
- Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, gummi bears, and/or popcorn (for serving)
- Combine bananas, brown sugar, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until bananas are jammy and liquid is slightly thickened, 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine berries, lime juice, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mash berries lightly to release juices. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until juices are slightly thickened, 15-20 minutes.
- Stir coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl to combine. Assemble halo-halo in 2 small bowls or pint glasses, alternating layers of bananas, berries, shaved ice, ice cream, and coconut milk mixture. Top as desired.
