Indulge in the velvety sweetness of Red Bean Ice Cream, a creamy dessert inspired by traditional Asian flavors. This irresistible treat features tender adzuki beans, simmered to perfection with sugar, creating a sweet and subtly nutty red bean paste that adds texture and depth to every bite. Blended with whole milk, heavy cream, and a touch of fragrant vanilla, this ice cream delivers a rich, silky base elevated by the unique flavor of sweetened condensed milk. Perfectly balanced with a hint of salt, this frozen dessert is not only refreshing but also carries the nostalgic charm of classic red bean desserts. Whether served in bowls or cones, it's a delightful fusion of creamy indulgence and traditional flair, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Rinse the adzuki beans thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed adzuki beans and 500 ml of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for approximately 60 minutes, or until the beans are soft. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent drying out.
Once the beans are soft, stir in the granulated sugar and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sweetened red beans cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Fold in the cooled red bean mixture, ensuring an even distribution of beans throughout the ice cream base.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container.
Cover the surface with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent ice crystals from forming and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Scoop and serve the red bean ice cream in bowls or cones as desired.
