Ingredients

• 1 cup canned adzuki red beans
• 1.5 cups coconut milk
• 0.5 cup almond milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons agave syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned adzuki red beans thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess sodium.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally and bring the mixture just to a simmer, ensuring the sugar has completely dissolved.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, agave syrup, and salt. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 4

Transfer the red beans to a blender. Add the coconut milk mixture to the blender and blend until completely smooth, ensuring no bean chunks remain.

Step 5

Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 6

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Cover the surface with parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm.

Step 8

When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Enjoy your homemade Vegan Red Bean Ice Cream!
