Black Bean Chocolate Mousse / vegan / gluten free

This Black Bean Chocolate Mousse is so super decadent and chocolatey you wouldn’t believe it was also healthy, protein rich, gluten free, vegan, refined sugar free and healthy – I say almost lunch ;).

Since I cooked so much black beans yesterday I had to come up with a few recipes. I made some chocolate chip cookies and this amazing mousse.

These little pots are super simple but powerful (I just ate 2 for dessert after a workout! I say they’re great postworkout meal too – because they’re rich in good carbs and protein – and because I deserved them.

I love creating recipes with veggies and legumes, and these really came out amazing! It is a super simple recipe. Once you have cooked beans and roasted hazelnuts, you just need to pop all the ingredients in the blender, and you’re set 😉

This mousse is:

• protein rich
• gluten free
• vegan
• refined sugar free
• rich in good carbs
• contains only healthy fats
• very low in calories compared to a conventional desserts
• has lots of healthy fibers

Notes:

• You can substitute hazelnuts with other nuts
• You can use canned beans just rinse them well and leave in a sieve to drain really well – to avoid the bean-y taste
• Use any sweetener you like. I tried this recipe with maple and agave syrup and loved both.
• I had some questions about omitting coconut oil. You can also use melted cocoa butter
• Add more cocoa for deeper chocolate flavour and sweetener for sweeter mousse

Ok. I think I covered pretty much everything and for any questions, comment below.

Čokoladni mousse od crnog graha

Prefini čokoladni mousse – bez žitarica tj. glutena i rafiniranog šećera. Super jednostavno, zdravo, bogato proteinima, vlaknima i dobrim ugjikohidratima – skoro ručak Upravo sam smazala dva za dessert nakon treninga. 

Možete grah skuhati sami ili koristiti neki iz teglice. Ako koristite kupovni, dobro ga operite i dobro ocijedite – tekućina obično ima jako okus po grahu za razliku od tekućine od kuhanja.

Recept je prejednostavan. Ako imate skuhani grah i pečene lješnjake, gotovi ste za doslovno 10 minuta.

Ovaj recept je:

• gluten free
• veganski
• nisko kaloričan
• bez nezdravih šećera i masnoća
• bogat vlaknima
• bogat proteinima i složenim ugljikohidratima

[recipe-foody] Vrijeme pripreme: 15 minuta

Količina: 4 x 125ml

Sastojci:

1/2 šalice zobenog mlijeka

• 2 šalice kuhanog crnog graha (može i neki drugi)

• 3 žlice pečenih oguljenih lješnjaka

• 2 žlice rastopljenog kokosovog ulja

• 3 – 4 žlice nezasladjenog kakaa

• 3 – 4 žlice javorovog ili agavinog sirupa

• 1 žličica limuna

• prstohvat soli

• malo cimeta

Postupak:

• Dobro ocijedite grah (operite ako je kupovni) i stavite s ostalim sastojcima u blender.
• Ako želite možete staviti više kakaa za čokoladniji okus i više zaslađivača za slađi mousse.
• Izblendate i stavite da se dobro ohladi. [/recipe-foody]
