I found it satisfying, light, and tasty, and I offer you my version.<\/p>\n<p>Like almost all legumes, beans have a flavor that naturally tends toward sweet and a pasty texture that is perfect for making creams, sweet and savory, smooth and spreadable.<\/p>\n<p>Beans, water, bitter cocoa, and chocolate are your only ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>If you have vanilla extract, add some; otherwise, do the same. I also added some ginger; I used candied ginger, finely chopped, like crumbs, to give the cream that extra something.<\/p>\n<p>This is a simple recipe and a good alternative for dieting gluttons and, generally, for anyone watching their figure.<\/p>\n<p>But also for those who feel like experimenting with new recipes and flavors.<\/p>\n<p>I use bean and chocolate cream spread on bread to fill cakes or cookies.<br \/>\nFor example, you can use it to fill a tart.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sweet Adzuki beans cream<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is a cream with a velvety texture that is made using organic red beans and 75% dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>It is a vegan recipe with no sugar, butter, or oil. And gluten-free.<br \/>\nThe sweetness of the beans can easily be mistaken for that of chestnuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buona cucina, Monica<\/p>\n<h5>Cook with me<\/h5>\n<p>Check out my recipes for jams and marmalades: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/en\/category\/recipes\/occasions\/preserves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"p1\"><b>Keep in Touch<\/b><\/h5>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">To receive unpublished recipes, tips, and food stories, sign up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/foodnotesfrombologna.substack.com\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Tortellini&amp;CO newsletter<\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Follow me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tortelliniandco\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Instagram<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>.<\/b><b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-28986 size-full\" title=\"Adzuki beans and chocolate cream\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9461.jpg\" alt=\"Adzuki beans and chocolate cream\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9461.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9461-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9461-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-28988 size-full\" title=\"Adzuki beans and chocolate cream\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9459.jpg\" alt=\"Adzuki beans and chocolate cream\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9459.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9459-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_9459-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h2>Adzuki beans and chocolate cream<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>for 3 medium jars<br \/>\nIngredients<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>400 g of Adzuki beans<br \/>\n200 g dark chocolate<br \/>\n20 g of bitter cocoa<br \/>\n1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>if desired: 50 g candied ginger<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Method<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Soak the beans in water overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Drain and cook in plenty of water until beans are well cooked (add water if necessary).<\/p>\n<p>Drain and rinse under running water.<\/p>\n<p>Put the beans back in a saucepan, cover with water, add a teaspoon of natural vanilla extract, and bring to a boil.
