Bingsu (Korean: 빙수; Hanja: 氷水; lit. Frozen Water), sometimes written as bingsoo,[1] is a milk-based Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings that may include chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red beans.[2][3]
The most common variety is pat-bingsu (Korean: 팥빙수, romanized: Red Bean Frozen Water), sweet red bean shaved ice. The main ingredient of bingsu was natural ice in the past, but later artificial ice was produced and high-quality sweeteners were developed. Many modern bingsu varieties use frozen milk rather than water-based ice. Historically, the ice-cutting machine was a simple tool in the shape of a plane, but now most shaved ice is created by electric ice shavers.
