Maiz con Hielo (MAis con Yelo)

Sweet corn is another abundant crop here in the Philippines. Aside from eating off the cub with a little salt and butter, we also love corn on Mais con yelo. This is made similar to Saba con Hielo only it uses fresh corn kernels instead of the saba or banana. It might strange to use corn for a sweet cool treat, but it works. Just try it and you will enjoy eating this especially summer days. MAiz con Hielo is similar to Halo-Halo but not as grand as Halo- Halo. 




It is a mixture of shaved ice, corn kernels, sugar and milk. It is placed on a tall glass, filled to the brim with a shaved ice and sweet corn towered over on the table perched regally a top was a lavish scoop of quesco ice cream, pinipig or corn flakes.
