Rinse the red adzuki beans under cold water to remove any impurities.
In a medium saucepan, combine the red beans and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours or until the beans are very soft.
Once cooked, drain any excess water and mash the beans into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor.
Allow the red bean paste to cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the red bean paste, low-fat milk, non-fat Greek yogurt, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ensuring it is thoroughly cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the soft ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve the low-fat red bean ice cream scooped into bowls and enjoy!
