Ingredients
- 11⁄2 Cup canned sweetened mashed adzuki beans
- 1⁄2 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Cup whole milk
- 1⁄4 Cup crystal sugar

Directions
Place cup of the beans and the cream in a large bowl and mix until evenly combined.
Place the remaining 1/ cup beans, milk, sugar, and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into the bowl with the bean-cream mixture and stir to combine. (The beans will sink to the bottom.)
Fill the pop molds halfway with the liquid part of the mixture. Use a spoon to evenly divide the beans left on the bottom of the bowl among the molds. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
