Prepare the corn first. For fresh corn, carefully cut the kernels off the cob and boil them in water for 5 minutes until tender. If using canned or frozen corn, simply warm it slightly and drain. Let the corn cool while you prepare other ingredients.

Make your shaved ice using a shaving machine or blender. You want the ice to be very fine and snow-like for the best texture. Set this aside but work quickly so it doesn't melt.

Get a tall glass ready. Put 1 cup of the prepared corn kernels at the bottom of your glass. This creates the sweet foundation of your dessert. Now add 2 cups of your shaved ice on top of the corn, packing it gently.

Pour your milk mixture next. Add ¼ cup each of condensed milk and evaporated milk over the ice. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on top. The milk will naturally start drizzling down through the ice to create lovely layers.

Now for the fun part - toppings. Add any combination of grated cheese, sliced saging na saba, or cornflakes that you like. If you're feeling fancy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Serve your Mais Con Yelo right away while the ice is still frozen. Give everything a gentle stir with your spoon before eating to mix all the flavors together. Each spoonful should have a perfect mix of sweet corn, creamy milk, and refreshing ice.
