Crispy and Sweet Puffed Rice Ice Cream
[Simple Dessert Recipe] Seojin’s Puffed Rice Ice Cream
My nieces and nephews saw the delicious-looking puffed rice ice cream from the TV show ‘Seojin’s Kitchen’ and asked me to make it. The combination of crispy puffed rice and creamy ice cream is surprisingly delightful! It’s a fantastic blend of textures and flavors that is sure to impress. A perfect and easy dessert to enjoy at home!
Key Ingredients
- Ice cream of your choice (vanilla, chocolate, etc.)
- Sweet red bean paste (anko)
- Puffed rice (rice, barley, etc.)
- Toasted soybean powder (injeolmi konggaru)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients. Think of it like assembling a shaved ice dessert – gather everything needed for this sweet and crunchy ice cream treat.
Step 2
For the red bean paste, I tried a canned version this year. While it’s quite sweet, it comes in convenient small portions, making it easy to use. Adjust the amount to your personal preference.
Step 3
Start by creating a base layer of puffed rice in your serving bowl or glass. I used a mix of rice and barley puffed rice; personally, I found the barley puffed rice to have a richer, nuttier flavor. The crispiness of the puffed rice will add a wonderful textural contrast to the ice cream.
Step 4
Next, carefully spoon your desired red bean paste over the puffed rice. Be mindful when scooping the ice cream – if you try to make it too perfectly round, it might melt and slide off. Aim for a size that sits well on top. (Oops, I scooped the ice cream a bit too round for the photo, and it started to drip! ㅠㅠ)
Step 5
Finally, generously sprinkle the toasted soybean powder over the ice cream for a delightful nutty finish! It’s best to add the soybean powder just before serving to keep the puffed rice crisp. Even with the slight drip, this assembly creates a beautifully imperfect and delicious puffed rice ice cream. Enjoy your delightful creation right away!
