There’s nothing I want more than a big bowl of shaved ice on a hot, humid summer day. While a shaved ice machine is a worthy investment for the fluffiest, lightest version of this dessert, you can also make it granita-style by freezing milk in a pan and scraping with a fork. Strawberries and condensed milk are my go-to toppings (here we use frozen strawberries that are thawed but not drained to preserve the precious juices), but this dessert’s riffability means you can top it with whatever you please: store-bought mochi bites, your favorite fruit (think mango or raspberry), tapioca pearls, or nata de coco. —Genevieve Yam
