This rich and velvety vegan chocolate mousse hides a surprising ingredient: black beans. Not only do they add a creamy texture, but they’re also a nutritional powerhouse – packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. In this dessert, they blend seamlessly into the chocolate base, offering substance without compromising flavor.
The mousse gets its deep, indulgent taste from a mix of cocoa powder, espresso, and a generous spoonful of vegan chocolate and hazelnut spread. Hazelnut butter brings extra creaminess and a nutty undertone, while agave syrup, coconut oil, and a splash of plant milk help balance sweetness and texture. A touch of cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice rounds out the flavors.
Topped with vegan crème fraîche, chocolate shavings, and toasted hazelnuts, this dessert is both decadent and nourishing. It’s a smart way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sneaking in extra protein and fiber.Read more: 4-Ingredient Vegan ‘Snickers’ BarsBlack bean chocolate mousseThis vegan chocolate mousse is rich, creamy, and secretly packed with protein thanks to black beans.
