Ingredients- 250g Sweetened Red Bean Paste (Anko)
- 400g Milk
- 200g Heavy Cream
- 92g Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: 250g of sweetened red bean paste, 400g of milk, 200g of heavy cream, and 92g of sweetened condensed milk. Whisk everything together thoroughly with a hand whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, ensuring there are no lumps. A crucial tip for homemade ice cream is that sweetness diminishes when frozen. Therefore, taste the mixture and aim for a sweetness level that feels quite sweet to you – this will ensure it’s perfectly sweet after freezing. If it’s not sweet enough, add a little more milk or cream. If it’s too sweet, you can add a bit more condensed milk to achieve your desired taste. Adjust until it’s just right for your palate!
Step 2
Pour the chilled, well-mixed red bean ice cream base into your ice cream maker. Ensure the machine is ready to churn the delicious mixture into a frozen dessert.
Step 3
Close the lid of the ice cream maker and let it run for about 20 to 30 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your machine, so churn until the ice cream reaches a thick, creamy consistency. You might want to check on it periodically to ensure it’s developing the perfect texture.
Step 4
Once churned, transfer the finished homemade red bean ice cream into an airtight container and place it in the freezer to harden completely. Because homemade ice cream doesn’t contain the same stabilizers as store-bought versions, it can become quite hard when frozen solid. To enjoy a scoop, simply place the container in the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften it slightly. Then, use an ice cream scoop to serve it into bowls. This simple trick will give you a wonderfully soft and creamy texture, making your homemade treat even more enjoyable. Enjoy your delicious, guilt-free dessert!
