Red Bean Ice Cream 红豆冰淇淋

Making this refreshing Red Bean Ice Cream or Popsicles is easy peasy with only 4 ingredients. They are perfect to enjoy with your family at home. You don’t need an ice cream machine to churn the mixture. The inspiration for making this yummy sweet treat in a healthier version came from Youtube. I saw many recipes using corn starch, glutinous rice flour or tapioca flour and milk.  So I tried with coconut water instead of milk. In fact I made this red bean ice cream twice. Firstly I followed the recipe by soaking the red beans overnight and boiled them till tender for an hour the next day. The red bean ice cream looks pretty with the studded red beans. Then for the second batch to save time, I just boiled the red beans straight in the pressure cooker for about 20-25 minutes without pre-soaking. The red beans were soft and a little mushy and the ice cream looks pinkish after being frozen. The end result of both methods in making the ice cream are equally good. It has a hint of coconut fragrance, creamy with a crunchy bite of the red beans after freezing. You may also use leftover cooked red beans from your red bean dessert soup to make this ice cream.

• Using Pressure Cooker 用高压锅煮红豆:
• Rinse red beans a few times under running water and drain well (no need to pre-soak red beans). Boil the red beans and water to required pressure then turn to medium low heat. Cook red beans for about 20-25 minutes. Turn off heat, allow pressure to come down naturally, about 15 minutes. Drain well red bean water and set aside. Then follow step 3 to 5 in the recipe to make the red bean ice cream.
• 红豆洗净沥干直接放入高压锅内加上水。盖紧锅盖。让锅内水煮开了，转入中小火煮20-25分钟。熄火，等待高压锅内冷却约15分钟，就可以打开锅盖了。沥干水分备用。下来完成冰淇淋的过程就跟食谱步骤3-5。

• 红豆冰淇淋 Red Bean Ice Cream
• 在YouTube看了很多分享制作红豆冰淇淋（冰棒）视频。制作过程真的超简单的。主要是预先把红豆浸泡隔夜，然后焖煮约40分钟（我煮了60分钟）至红豆变软。然后煮冰淇淋的做法真只须几分钟就搞定。请看看食谱就明白了。
• 我同时做了2次红豆冰淇淋。第一做法就把红豆浸泡过。做好的冰淇淋红白分明，看到那一颗颗的红豆真的很疗愈。第二次要省时间就直接把红豆放入高压锅煮约25分钟左右。虽然红豆煮的有点烂，但冰冻好的红豆冰淇淋，粉色粉色的也很美。总的来说2种做出来的效果都一样的好吃，因为用了椰子水，都吃的出一股清爽椰香味。
• 材料：
• 100克 红豆
• 250克 椰子水 （Ayam牌子）或牛奶
• 85克 砂糖
• 20克 糯米粉
• 做法：

1. 冲洗净红豆，然后放入一碗水中放入冰箱冷藏浸泡至隔夜。
2. 从冰箱取出红豆再冲洗一遍沥干水分，将红豆放入锅中和800毫升水煮滚，然后盖上盖小火煮约40分钟至红豆变软 （我喜欢红豆更软就煮了60分钟），沥干水分备用。
3. 将椰子水放入锅中和砂糖拌匀。拌入糯米粉搅至无颗粒状态。
4. 开中火将液体搅至滚。改换小火不停搅拌液体约3分钟至浓稠及滑。倒入红豆翻拌均匀即可熄火。
5. 将红豆混合物倒入冰淇淋模型中，放入冰箱冷冻至少4小时或隔夜。

• 用高压锅煮红豆：

1. 红豆洗净沥干直接放入高压锅内加上水。盖紧锅盖。让锅内水煮开了，转入中小火煮20-25分钟。熄火，等待高压锅内冷却约15分钟，就可以打开锅盖了。沥干水分备用。下来完成冰淇淋的过程就跟食谱步骤3-5。

• 您也可以把煮红豆甜汤的剩下红豆拿来做冰淇淋。
