How to:
The night before:
- Make the Matcha Chia Pudding the night before. Use our recipe here.
- Make the Matcha Banana Ice cream the night before using our recipe here.
- Cook the red beans and once they are soft and easily mashable with a fork, stop the cooking and drain out the excess water. Skip this step if using canned adzuki beans.
- Mash the drained adzuki red beans with a fork, add in the honey or sugar and continue to mash until a rough paste forms. It doesn't have to be completely smooth.
- Make the coconut jelly by dissolving the gelatine in hot water. You may need to microwave this for 10 seconds to have it completely dissolved.
- Before the gelatine cools down, add in both types of milk and whisk thoroughly.
- Transfer this to a bowl or tin, and let the mixture cool down before placing it in the fridge to set overnight.
To assemble:
- In a tall glass, layer each component. Start with the Chia pudding, red bean paste, milk pudding, cereal and top it off with your Matcha Banana Ice cream.
- You will not end up using all the seperate layers but you can keep these in the fridge or freezer to consume later on.
- Enjoy your delicious treat :)
