Cream Filling (using white beans)

I know it sounds strange making a cream filling out of beans but this honestly is one of the best recipes for a stable cream filling and you will never know it has beans in it. You can use this in donuts, any pastry that is filled with a cream filling. Not only is this stable but it is healthy, the beans provide protein and the ricotta cheese is low in fat.

Cream Filling  (top favorite recipe of mine)
Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can drained white navy beans (any white bean will work) 
  
•   or (250 g) of  beans if you cook them yourself.
  
• 1/4 c.sugar (50 g)
• 1 Ricotta cheese 15 oz.
• 3 T  powdered sugar (23 g)
  
• 1 tsp vanilla

Directions
In your food processor put the drained beans and sugar, pulse until all the beans form a paste. Add the ricotta cheese and pulse again until well mixed. Add the powdered sugar (more if you need it sweeter) and the vanilla. Again pulse until well blended. Mixture freezes well you will have plenty left for next time. This is a great cream filling you will never know it has beans in it....very healthy.
