Questions

Can I make Halo-Halo Float dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 2 scoops ube ice cream. Swap the evaporated milk for a plant-based version of the same product; the ube ice cream for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.
