alias_sqbrI bought a packet of frozen small red bean buns which I've been slowly eating at work, and today was thinking about the taste and how it might work with chocolate. Looking to see if such a recipe existed I found the sorts of fancy foodie blogs you'd expect from googling "adzuki chocolate", plus a bunch of recipes which looked delicious but sophie-unfriendly, and thinking about them gave me ideas for a bunch of new desserts I could eat.
Namely:
-steamed dumplings with a mixture of sweet red bean paste and cocoa/grated dark chocolate (I may try this tommorow by just sprinkling some cocoa into the bun, sounds messy but tasty :))
-Hazelnut Macarons sandwiched with nuttella
-Chocolate walnut cake filled with banana schmutz (adapted to be less buttery, sour, and alcoholic)
Also I found one recipe I could eat as is, Cocoa Hazelnut Macaroons.
And of course now I feel like cake and/or chocolate. *eats a carrot and is unsatisfied*
EDIT: I gave in and tried the cocoa/redbean bun. Not too bad, but would have been MUCH nicer with a thin bit of dark chocolate.
