Equipment

  • 1 High-Powered Blender
  • 1 Serving Bowl
  • 1 Rubber Spatula For scraping ingredients
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 ⅓ cups canned pinto beans
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Combine pinto beans, cocoa powder, cashews, honey, and brown sugar in a high-powered blender; pulse until crumbly. Add almond milk and blend until dip is smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Notes

Thoroughly rinse canned pinto beans under cold water to eliminate excess sodium and any metallic canning flavors, ensuring a clean base for the dip. For an exceptionally silky smooth texture, consider soaking the raw cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending. Start with the specified amount of almond milk and add more incrementally, a tablespoon at a time, until the dip reaches your desired consistency. A pinch of flaky sea salt can significantly enhance the chocolate notes, and a touch of vanilla extract can deepen the overall brownie flavor. For presentation, a light dusting of extra cocoa powder or finely chopped nuts can elevate the visual appeal.
