Decadent Black Bean Based Orange & Chocolate Spread
If there is one great way to get your beans into you without knowing it, this is it 🙂 It tastes decadent, rich and just gorgeous. I call it 'spread', but it is excellent as a sauce or a dip, like in the picture, or for cake layers, you name it. But whatever you name it, I'm pretty sure as a breakfast, with fruit to dip, it will make you start the day with a smile on your face!
