Red Bean Adzuki Popsicle

By giving myself a strict bedtime of midnight, my hope is that I get better at time management. I tend to do a lot of my photography/blogging/creative work after midnight since I hate being interrupted. Even when B started dating me during college, he was always baffled why I painted after midnight (and being the dutiful boyfriend, he would stay up with me and help clean my brushes so I would go to bed earlier….although he would never do that now lol)

I’m sharing the Red bean Adzuki Popsicle recipe adapted from Omnivore’s Cookbook. I bought my first cheap Ikea popsicle mold cheap in 2016 because I was a new intern who had no money.  I waited 7 years before buying the mold I always wanted – the pretty aesthetic ones with the classic wooden popsicle stick. Look how beautiful they are!

I’ve always liked red bean ice cream and this popsicle recipe is quite creamy. The whole milk and the condensed milk keep it from being icy. I used premade red bean paste from the Asian grocery – my prior attempts with dried red beans led to incredibly hard beans that hurt my teeth despite soaking it forever.
