Black Bean Mousse

February, 2020

Black Bean Mousse

You know how much I love using vegetables and pulses in baking. This Black Bean Mousse is a winner! The beans make a thick and creamy texture, it is so easy to make, high in fibre and if you use a dairy free chocolate it is suitable for many allergy restrictions!
