💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Make sure the melted chocolate ganache cools to room temperature before folding with whipped cream so the cream doesn't deflate.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
