Tips and Comments
- To a Western pallet a bean based dessert might seem a little strange but I was inspired to invent this recipe after encountering green bean ice lollies in the heat of the Chinese summer; and then having nowhere to source them in the UK!
- I use mini lolly moulds as I have a tiny freezer but this amount will make about 4 standard size.
- You can freely omit the green food colouring but they will be a murky brown. You have 'bean' warned.
