Chocolate, a wonderfully creamy texture and a surprising ingredient: this vegan chocolate mousse shows just how versatile black beans can be in the kitchen. Finely blended, they form the base of a rich, chocolatey dessert that requires no cream. Our extra virgin olive oil gives the mousse a silky texture and a subtle depth of flavour.
The result is a simple yet special dessert for anyone who loves experimenting with new ingredients and creating something delicious with just a few ingredients.
