Mango shaved ice is a popular dessert in Taiwan, especially enjoyed during the hot summer months.[1] Distinct from traditional shaved ice which typically includes toppings such as tapioca pearls, taro balls, and grass jelly, mango shaved ice features fresh mango chunks, condensed milk, and mango ice cream atop shaved or finely crushed ice.[2] This combination creates a refreshing and cooling treat that is favoured by both locals and tourists. According to surveys by CNN and various travel magazines, Taiwan's mango shaved ice has been recognized as one of the world's best desserts.[3][4]
