The freshness of Bingsu
This is a very old recipe that appears from the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), this dish is reserved for an elite. The ice is grated and the flakes called Bingo 빈고 are mixed with fruits. The first Bingsu are not sweet or dairy, it is not until the 20th century with the American and Japanese influence that this frozen and refreshing dessert transforms into an ultra-gourmet ice cream sundae. At Café 750, the bingsu recipes are numerous and the most difficult will be to choose between the chocolate bingsu, seasonal fruit bingsu, red bean paste bingsu and Matcha bingsu...
