Ingredients
- 1½ cup whole milk aka full-fat milk (see note 1)
- 3 tablespoon cornstarch or glutinous rice flour
- 1½ cup cooked red beans aka adzuki beans (see note 2)
- ½ cup condensed milk or to taste (see note 3)
Instructions
- Use a few spoons of milk to mix with cornstarch until fully integrated. Then pour the mixture, along with the remaining milk, into a saucepan.
- Heat it over medium heat until it becomes hot to touch (dip your fingertip to test). Then stir it with a spatula constantly until it thickens to a runny yogurt consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the thickened milk into a blender/food processor. Add cooked red beans and condensed milk (leave out about ¼ of the recommended volume).
- Run the machine to blend and break the beans. Stop a few times to check the consistency. You can either keep the beans in bits (as shown in my recipe images) or break them into a very smooth texture.
- Taste the mixture and add more condensed milk as needed. Keep in mind that it will taste less sweet once frozen.
- With a spoon or a spouted jug, transfer the mixture into your popsicle molds (store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days). Leave a little space to the rim as the mixture will expand slightly after freezing. Put in the sticks. Store the molds in the freezer for 4-8 hours.
- To unmold the popsicles, hold the molds upside down and run warm water over them for 10-15 seconds. Or, leave the molds on the counter for 5-10 minutes before pulling out the popsicles.
Notes
- Use semi-skimmed milk if you wish to consume fewer calories. Or, replace whole milk with single cream for an even richer taste.
- You can either use ready-to-use canned red beans or cook raw red beans from scratch. Find instructions in the post above or read my post on Red Bean Paste.
- If unavailable, condensed milk can be replaced by sugar, honey, or evaporated milk with added sugar.
