Halo-halo is probably the most famous Filipino dessert during the summer months and all year round. Shaved ice is made colorful and tasty thanks to the assortment of sweet ingredients such as bananas, jackfruit, beans, pearls, gelatin, pinipig, ube, leche flan, and sometimes, a generous scoop of ice cream, all topped with evaporated milk. This dessert is colorful, delicious, and offers exciting textures. More importantly, it helps cool your entire body down and stay cool under the sun.
Every kid and kid at heart loves a good ice candy. This dessert is easy to make, and you can use affordable ingredients to stay on budget.

If there are too many elements found inside a halo-halo, you can opt for a more simple version of it, such as a mais or saging con yelo. These desserts are simple and easy to make and don’t require many ingredients. You only need steamed or canned corn or boiled banana, shaved ice, sugar, milk, and corn flakes for added flavor and texture.
Ice scramble is a colorful and tasty cold dessert consisting of shaved ice, banana or vanilla flavoring, food color, and milk. You mix these ingredients until you get a smooth texture. Add some mini mallows, powdered milk, colorful sprinkles, and chocolate syrup on top for color and more flavor.

Aside from selling desserts on the go, you can also whip up desserts that can be served with families and friends, such as buko pandan. This dessert recipe uses coconut strings, pandan leaves, gelatin, sago pearls, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. This is a popular dessert served especially during fiestas and parties, so this will be in demand, especially during the summer months or even all year round.
Another not-to-miss sweet creation this summer you can earn from is mango float made up of layers of ladyfingers or graham crackers, whipped cream, condensed milk, and ripe mangoes. Since this is served chilled or frozen, eating this is like eating an ice cream cake. You can sell your mango float per microwavable plastic container, suitable for sharing among friends and families.
