Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned red beans
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the red beans thoroughly to remove any excess sodium.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the drained red beans, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, coconut cream, and salt.
Step 3
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the beans are fully pureed.
Step 4
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
Step 5
Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 6
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Step 7
Once chilled, transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20 minutes.
Step 8
Scoop the ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm it up further.
Step 9
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
