Rinse well red beans under running water a few times. Then soak red beans with water overnight in the fridge.
Rinse red beans again and drain well. Place red beans into pot with about 800ml water and bring to boil. Then lower heat and simmer for about 40 minutes till red beans are tender (I boiled it for 60 minutes as I prefer the red beans in softer stage). Drain well and set aside.
Pour coconut light water and sugar into pot and stir together till sugar dissolved. Stir in glutinous flour with a hand whisk until smooth.
At medium heat bring mixture to a boil. Then turn to low heat and stir mixture for about 3 minutes till thickened and smooth. Pour in the red beans and mix well. Off heat.
Transfer the red bean mixture into ice cream mould and place them in the freezer at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
To cook red beans in pressure cooker 1.Rinse red beans a few times under running water and drain well (no need to pre-soak red beans night). 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 to make the red bean ice cream.
You may also use leftover cooked red beans from your red bean dessert soup to make this ice cream.
