Red Bean Ice Cream Recipe
- 4 cups plus 2 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tapioca starch or cornstarch
- 2 cups red bean paste
- Pour the 4 cups half-and-half into the top of a double boiler over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks in a bowl until the yolks turn thick and pale.
- Temper the yolks by gradually adding the hot half-and-half mixture a cup at a time while whisking vigorously so as not to scramble the eggs.
- Return the mixture to the top part of the double boiler and whisk over simmering water until slightly thickened and heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Dilute the tapioca starch with the remaining 2 tablespoons half-and-half and add it to the mixture.
- Continue whisking to a custard consistency that coats the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the custard to a heatproof bowl and whisk in the red bean paste.
- Set over an ice bath and refrigerate overnight (or at least 12 hours).
- The next day, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and process the custard according to the manufacturers instructions, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze until ready to serve.
