Halo-Halo is a popular Filipino dessert known for its colorful layers and refreshing blend of flavors and textures. The name translates to "mix-mix," which reflects its preparation, combining an assortment of ingredients like sweetened beans, coconut strips, jackfruit, bananas, and gelatin. These are topped with shaved ice, evaporated milk, and sometimes a scoop of ube (purple yam) or mango ice cream. The dish is often garnished with leche flan or toasted rice. While Halo-Halo provides plenty of fiber and vitamins from fruit and beans, it is also high in sugar due to the sweetened toppings and syrupy mix-ins. Its cooling quality makes it a favorite summertime treat, but those monitoring their sugar intake should enjoy it in moderation. Halo-Halo exemplifies Filipino cuisine's creativity and ability to transform simple components into a vibrant, indulgent delicacy.
