Mais con yelo is a popular Filipino dessert made of sweet corn, ice and milk. It’s delicious, refreshing and easy to make. You’ll want to make it every day this summer!
In a glass (or any serving container), layer your ingredients, to taste. For a 12-oz glass, I usually do: 2 tablespoons whole corn kernels, 2 tablespoons creamed corn and 1-2 teaspoons condensed milk.

Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice.

Notes
The yield depends on how you layer your ingredients and the size of your serving container.
When layering your mais con yelo, for best results ensure that you put enough corn before putting in the ice. I make sure it makes up at least ⅓ of the glass.
You don’t want the condensed milk to overpower the sweet corn so avoid adding too much. I usually add between 1 and 2 teaspoons. It’s easy to add more later if you want it sweeter.
