Ginumis is a shaved ice dessert much like the more popular halo-halo. It is, however, set apart in flavor by its use of coconut cream and a sweet syrup made from panutsa. Sago, gulaman and pinipig are standard ingredients but you can certainly add, if desired, fresh mangoes or fruit of choice. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 2 cups sago cooked
- 1 cup pinipig toasted
- gulaman
- panutsa syrup
- 1 cup coconut cream kakang gata
- crushed ice
For the Gulaman
- 2 bars (.70 ounce) agar-agar
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 to 3 drops pandan extract
For the Panutsa syrup
- 1 piece (about 8 ounces) panutsa

Instructions
- In glasses, place sago, gulaman and pinipig. Add panocha syrup and coconut cream. Top with crushed ice. Garnish with additional pinipig, if desired.
For the Gulaman
- In a pot, soak agar agar in water for about 30 to 40 minutes. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until agar agar melts.
- Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until agar agar is completely melted. Add pandan extract and stir to combine.

I have had a malaysian shave ice and a vietnamese shave ice (ice kacang and suong sa hot luu), and I loved both! Now I have another type of shave ice to try 🙂
Also, the pinipig looks very unique, I can't believe I've never heard of it. I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm in the Asian grocery store.
Now you are making me want to try ice kakang and suong sa hot luu. I have to look for them on my next Vietnamese restaurant visit. 🙂
Thanks for the visit.
