Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Kosher salt
  • 6 ounces fresh blueberries (about 1 cup)
  • 6 ounces fresh blackberries (about 1 1/2 cups), cut in half if large

  • Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, gummi bears, and/or popcorn (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Combine bananas, brown sugar, vanilla, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until bananas are jammy and liquid is slightly thickened, 20 –30 minutes.

  3. Stir coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk in a small bowl to combine. Assemble halo-halo in 2 small bowls or pint glasses, alternating layers of bananas, berries, shaved ice, ice cream, and coconut milk mixture. Top as desired.
