Frozen Black Bean Fudge

Inspired by a few recipes I found on some message boards, this is not really Fudge (duh). It doesn’t have the consistency but if you freeze it and let it defrost a bit at room temperature it hits the chocolate craving perfectly!
- 1 can of Black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (I use half regular/half dark)
- 1 ½ cup of Splenda
- Non stick cooking spray
Put beans and applesauce in bender mix well. Add other ingredients and mix until smooth.
Spray a plastic tupperware dish (preferably a longer rectangle one) with cooking spray and add mixture. Smooth it out to fill the dish. Place in freezer for about and hour then remove and cut into 15 squares (you have to do this now because it will get too hard to cut later. The consistency is too mushy in the fridge and too hard in the freezer so I leave it in the freezer and remove a square when I want some chocolate. Let it sit at room temp for a minute or two and it’s perfect.
The whole mixture is 15 points so if you cut it in 15 squares it a point a piece. To be honest it’s pretty rich, it’s all you’ll need!

Ok, to be honest, I thought you had lost your mind on this one, and made it just to be sure —- and boy was I wrong! This is actually quite good and does take care of a chocolate craving. Thanks for all of your neat recipes!

Roni, I have been reading your site for several months. I love it. I am a huge fan of black beans and have never seen them used this way before. I am looking forward to trying them. Thanks for sharing.
