INGREDIENTS
- 1 can red beans (400 g can)
- 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons shredded coconut
TOPPING
- pistachios
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare 2 medium size bowls, one for beans one for bean juice. Drain the can of beans using strainer over one of the bowls until only the beans remain into a strainer.
- For this recipe, you’ll need the whole amount of the beans from the can and half the amount of the beans juice. Use an electric mixer to whisk the beans juice for about 5-8 minutes until stiff peaks are formed, and the mixture looks like aquafaba.
- Add red beans, cacao, coconut, and maple syrup in a food processor, and blend until creamy. Transfer the mixture in a bowl with the whipped beans juice and gently stir everything until combined. Transfer the mousse into small jars. You can eat it right away or leave it in a fridge for 1 hour until it thickens a bit.
- Serve and enjoy Red Bean Chocolate Coconut Mousse!
