Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup azuki beans
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 1/2 cups water
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Wash beans, and transfer beans, sugar, lemon juice, and water into a saucepan. Bring to boil, and boil uncovered for 3 minutes.
  • Decrease the heat to low and cover the pan, and cook the beans until very tender, adding additional water as needed, 2 1/2 - 3 hours. The beans should be very tender.
  • When done, there should be a total of 3 cups beans and liquid. If not enough liquid, add more water to make 3 cups total mixture. If too much water, drain some liquid.
  • Let the mixture cool 5 minutes. Strain the bean mixture through a sieve. Discard bean skins left in the sieve.
  • Refrigerate the bean mixture 2 - 3 hours until cold.
  • Heat the milk and cream to simmer in a saucepan.
  • Combine egg yolks, and sugar in a bowl, stirring with a wire whisk. Stir 1/4 cup of the hot cream/milk mixture into the egg/sugar mixture; combine well.
  • Transfer the egg/sugar mixture into the milk/cream mixture in the saucepan.
  • Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until mixture thickens somewhat, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and refrigerate 2 - 3 hours until cold.
  • Combine bean mixture and custard mixture and process according to your ice cream maker instructions.

This is my new favorite ice cream recipe. It's so creamy and delicious, and the red bean flavor is to die for.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my ice cream turned out icy. I think I might have over-churned it.

The flavor was a bit too strong for me, but my husband loved it. I'll try it again with less red bean paste next time.

Amazingly smooth and creamy, I felt like I was eating a cloud. The red bean flavor is rich and nutty, with just the right amount of sweetness.
