| ==Ingredients==
| |
| There is no specific recipe for this dessert, and a wide variety of ingredients are used. The order in which the ingredients are added varies widely. Primary ingredients include boiled red mung beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, sugar palm fruit (''kaong''), [[coconut]] sport (''macapuno''), and plantains. Other components may include jackfruit (''langka''), star apple, tapioca or sago, nata de coco, purple yam (''ube'') or sweet potato (''kamote''), sweetened corn kernels or pounded crushed [[rice]] (''pinipig''), flan or custard, and gelatin. Other fruits, such as papayas, avocados, kiwifruit, bananas or [[cherries]], may also be added. Some preparations also include [[ice cream]] on top of the halo-halo.

| Generally, condensed milk or evaporated milk is used instead of fresh milk, due to the tropical climate of the Philippines.

| *Halo-halo is a favorite of [[Nicole-458]], an obvious written pun although its pronunciation differs from the English "halo." Halo-halo is pronounced "hah-lloh hah-lloh."
