Red Bean Ice with Ice Cream
Equipment
Ingredients
Sweetened Red Beans
- 100 g red bean
- 400 mL water
- 50 g sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 can sweetened azuki red beans only if you don't want to prepare and cook
Other
- 1 cup small ice cubes
- 2 part evaporated milk
- 1 part coconut milk
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Instructions
To prepare Sweetened Red Beans:
- Rinse and wash the red beans in a large bowl 3-4 times. Add water until it is 2 inches above the beans. Soak preferably overnight or at least 2 hours.
- In a saucepan, add the soaked red beans and 400mL of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add sugar and salt. Continue cooking for 20-30 minutes, or until the beans are soft and cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Cook until the mixture thickens, with about half of the beans remaining intact while others start to fall apart. This gives a nice texture to the drink, blending some beans with the milk.
- If you prefer not to prepare the red beans, you can use a can of sweetened azuki red beans instead. The sweetness and texture will be similar to homemade.
Preparing the Drink:
- In a tall glass, add the sweetened red beans.
- Add small ice cubes. If you have a blender, you can make crushed ice for a smoother texture.
- Pour in evaporated milk and coconut milk in a 2:1 ratio.
- Add a scoop of ice cream on top.
- Stir well and enjoy.
