Azuki cocoa cream with fresh ginger

Ingredients

For 1 serving

• Adzuki beans50 g
• Unsweetened cocoa powder12 g
• Ginger3 g
• Stevia3 g

Method

1. The evening before, rinse the azuki beans and leave them to soak in plenty of cold water.
2. Drain them, put them in a pan with fresh water covering them by four fingers, bring to the boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 50 minutes, until they crush easily between your fingers; top up with hot water if the level drops too far.
3. Drain them, keeping back a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid.
4. Peel and grate the ginger. Blend the beans with the cocoa, stevia and ginger, adding the liquid a little at a time, until you have a thick, smooth cream.
5. Serve warm or cold in a small bowl.
