Ice Buko is a creamy, milk-based cylindrical shaped ice popsicle, with shredded coconut, and at times comes with red monggo beans on top.
These are usually sold from favorite neighborhood sari-sari stores, or from street peddlers carrying a rectangular styrofoam cooler. The most popular varieties are the coconut/milk-based with shredded coconut, and the monggo topped, plain milk or cream- based.

- Beat the egg yolk and add a tablespoon at a time of the mix while beating vigorously so as not to scramble the egg. This is called tempering.
- Add the egg yolk mix back to the pot and simmer. Turn the heat off, strain and then add the shredded coconut and vanilla extract.
- Put in individual molds and freeze.
- If you are to use a plastic cup mold, after putting the cooked mix in individual molds, freeze for 2 hours before mounting the sticks one by one. After 10 minutes, check to see if the sticks are still vertical and not slanted.
