Can I use homemade red bean paste?

Absolutely! Just cook azuki beans, sweeten to taste, and blend until chunky-smooth if you like more texture. Store-bought works fine for “lazy” days.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yep, swap out milk and cream for coconut or oat milk. Your Ninja Creami Azuki Red Bean Ice Cream will taste a little different, but honestly, still really good.

How long does this ice cream keep?

If you leave it in the Ninja container, covered, it’ll stay good for about a week—honestly, it never lasts that long at my house.

Can I add other flavors before freezing?

For sure. Add a dash of vanilla, coconut, or even green tea powder right into the mix for a fun twist.

The base looks too thick. Is that OK?

Azuki base is naturally a little dense. Thin with a splash more milk if it won’t pour. After freezing, the Ninja Creami sorts it out.
