Double-skin milk with red beans is a traditional Chinese dessert, originally from southern China.
It’s made from milk that’s gently steamed twice, which creates a super smooth, silky texture—almost like a very soft custard or pudding. The “double skin” part comes from the thin layers that form on top of the milk during the process.
The red beans on top are sweetened adzuki beans, which add a slightly nutty, earthy sweetness and a bit of texture to balance the creamy base.
It’s usually served chilled or slightly warm, and it’s really popular as a comforting dessert or late-night snack.
