Ingredients

For the Mung Bean Layer:

100 g mung beans no need to soak, keeping the beans’ natural flavor.
200 g whole milk adding a rich creaminess to the popsicles.
80 g sugar for a balanced sweetness.
15 g glutinous rice flour to give the popsicles a smooth texture with no ice crystals.

For the Red Bean Layer:

100 g red beans also no need to soak.
200 g whole milk.
80 g sugar.
15 g glutinous rice flour.

Instructions

Cook the Mung Beans:

Place 100g mung beans in a pressure cooker, adding enough water to ensure the beans stay submerged during cooking.
Cover and cook for about 12 minutes. The pressure cooker will help the mung beans cook faster, bringing them to a tender, bursting state.

Cook the Red Beans:

In a separate pressure cooker, add 100g red beans with enough water.
Cook for 15 minutes, as red beans take slightly longer to soften than mung beans. Once done, the red beans should also be tender and beginning to burst.

Prepare the Mung Bean Mixture:

Without removing the mung beans from the cooker, mix 80g sugar, 15g glutinous rice flour, and 200g whole milk in a bowl. Stir well, then pour the mixture into the cooker. Stir continuously to ensure all the beans are evenly coated.
Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens, cooking for an additional 3 minutes. The mung bean mixture should become rich and creamy.
Likewise, without removing the red beans from the cooker, combine 80g sugar, 15g glutinous rice flour, and 200g whole milk in a bowl. Stir until smooth, then pour the mixture into the cooker. Stir thoroughly, and simmer over low heat for an additional 3 minutes, until thickened.

Freezing:

Once the mung bean and red bean mixtures have cooled, pour them into popsicle molds. This recipe makes 12 popsicles—6 red bean and 6 mung bean.
Place the molds in the freezer and allow them to freeze completely, which usually takes several hours.

Unmolding:

When the popsicles are fully frozen, prepare a bowl of warm water. Dip the popsicle molds into the water briefly to help loosen the popsicles from the molds.
Gently remove the popsicles and place them on a plate or in a container.

Packaging:

To keep the popsicles clean and convenient for eating, you can place them in small bags and seal them.
