When I was a little girl, Frozen Azuki Milk was a popular treat. It was available as an icy pole OR in a cup. It is actually easy to make at home if you have a freezer and ice tray. Milk can be sweetened with Sugar OR Condensed Milk, etc. Please use an ice tray or silicone moulds that can make bite-size cubes. Large cubes are too difficult to eat.

Ingredients
1/4 cup Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) *about 1 teaspoon per cube
1/2 cup Milk
Sugar, Condensed Milk, OR other sweetener as required *I used 1 tablespoon Condensed Milk
Method
- I recommend to use an ice tray or silicone moulds that can make bite-size cubes. Large cubes are too difficult to eat.
- Mix all ingredients and pour the mixture into the moulds. Distribute Azuki beans evenly. Freeze until firm.
- Alternatively, you can place about 1 teaspoon of Tsubu-an (Sweet Azuki Paste) in each mould. Mix Milk and the sweetener of your choice, and pour the Milk mixture over Azuki paste in each mould. Freeze until firm.
- To take out the frozen Azuki Milk, dipping the bottom of the tray in warm water would help. Rock-hard Azuki Milk is too difficult to eat. Leave them at room temperature for a while until slightly softened.
