  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  15            ounces  canned white beans -- drained and rinsed
     1/4           cup  unsweetened cocoa
  2        Tablespoons  agave nectar
                        nondairy milk

Blend beans with 1/4 cup of cocoa and 2 Tablespoons of agave nectar in a
strong blender or food processor until well combined, adding a splash of
nondairy milk as necessary to achieve a creamed consistency.

Taste, then add 1 Tablespoon of cocoa at a time until you're satisfied
with the richness. I like it at 6 Tablespoons but my dark-chocolate-loving
testers went up to 8 Tablespoons (1/2 cup total). You may also need to add
another 1 Tablespoon of agave nectar for your tastes. The end result
should be the consistency of icing, the kind you buy at the store in a
tub.

VARIATION: Peanut Butter Fudge Dip: for an even richer dip, add peanut
butter to taste, 1 Tablespoon at time; or for a low-fat option, use peanut
flour.

Makes 2 cups (16 two-tablespoon servings)

Per serving (2 Tablespoons): 80 cals  ; 0.6g fat; 16.7g carbs; 3.6g fiber;
4.5g sugars; 4.5g proteins.

Chef's Note: Any white beans, such as navy, cannellini, or butter beans
may be used here.
For my sweetener-free friends, you can use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of soaked dates
instead of agave nectar, just blend them with 1/4 cup of non-dairy milk or
water first (it will form a paste) and add with beans and cocoa.

AuthorNote: Oh, fudge! This dip is so rich you won't believe it's made
from beans. Serve with apple and pear slices or smear it into a tortilla,
top with banana slices, and roll up. Yum!
