How to Prepare Black Bean Brownie With Berry Brulee [Vegan]

If you have whole flaxseed, make sure to grind them first. After that, just throw all the ingredients (apart from the baking chocolate) into a food processor or blender and mix well. If there are small pieces of beans, don’t worry, they will soften and meld with the whole batter when baked.
Stir in the chocolate and pour the batter, which is quite thick, into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes. (Use a toothpick to test if they're done. It shouldn't come out really wet or dry, but should be a bit brown in color.) Let them cool a while before you add the brulée on top, and then, once you put the whole creation in the refrigerator to chill, the brownies will become more solid, even if they are still slightly undercooked at this point.
Add all the brulée ingredients to a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. The raspberry powder is optional.
Remove the cream from the burner and let cool a bit, until it’s about finger warm, and then carefully pour it over the brownies. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Remove from the refrigerator, sprinkle white sugar on top, covering the whole surface with a thin layer, and use a torch to heat the sugar, gently moving the tip of the flame back and forth over the sugar until it melts and starts to bubble. Serve immediately.
