How to Make Red Bean Ice Cream: A Simple Guide

Red bean ice cream, a beloved Asian treat, offers a perfect balance of creamy sweetness and nutty red bean flavor. Here’s an easy recipe to make it at home.

Ingredients:

- 400ml heavy cream

- 1 can (400g) cooked red beans (drained)

- 1/2 cup condensed milk

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Prepare the red beans: Mash half of the cooked red beans into a paste with a fork, leaving the rest whole for texture.

2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then whip until stiff.

3. Mix the base: Gently fold the red bean paste and whole beans into the whipped cream. Add condensed milk and mix until just combined.

4. Freeze: Pour the mixture into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm. For a smoother texture, stir every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours.

Variations:

- Add matcha powder for a green tea twist.

- Layer with chocolate sauce or crushed mochi for extra indulgence.

- Use coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
