Creamy Red Bean Popsicles (红豆冰棍)
Report
These red bean Popsicles are super creamy with bits of chewy beans inside. Only three ingredients are required—they're very easy to make.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried red beans (or 1 1/2 cups cooked, unsweetened red beans)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
Instructions
- Add red beans into a medium-sized bowl and add water to cover, at least by 1 inch. Soak until the beans are rehydrated (3 hours at a minimum, up to overnight).
- Drain soaked red beans and transfer to a medium-sized pot. Add cold water to cover by 2 inches. Cook over medium high heat until brought to a simmer. Immediately turn to low heat. Simmer covered until the red beans turn tender without breaking apart, about 50 minutes (*Footnote 1). Rinse the red beans with tap water to cool and drain.
- (Optional) Separate and save 1/4 cup whole red beans to add into the Popsicles for texture, if desired.
- Combine the cooked red beans and milk in a blender (I used a Vitamix). Start at low speed and increase to high, blending for 30 seconds if you like a texture with tiny pieces of crushed beans, and 1 minute for a smoother texture.
- Add condensed milk. Start at low speed and increase to medium, blending for 5 seconds, until the condensed milk is just incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture into Popsicle molds and place them in the freezer for 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Meanwhile, soak the Popsicle sticks in water. (*Footnote 2)
- Insert the Popsicle sticks, keeping them as straight as possible. Return the Popsicle molds to the freezer for another 4 to 5 hours, until the Popsicles have solidified.
- To remove a Popsicle, run the mold under warm water for 3 to 5 seconds, and then gently pull the Popsicle out and enjoy!
Notes
- It takes 50 minutes to cook beans that have been soaked overnight, and 20 to 30 minutes longer to cook them if you've only soaked them for a couple of hours.
- This step helps the Popsicle sticks stay straight, makes the Popsicles easier to pull out of the molds, and prevents the sticks from coming loose.
