Looks delish, and easy too. Can't wait to try it out. I already know I will like. I had to laugh as this reminded me of my sisters chocolate mousse she attempted when we were young. It called for 1 cup of coffee, and she put one cup of coffee in it, but not brewed LOL it was a gritty mess. I have no idea why this just came to mind, maybe as you stated cooked lentils, quinoa etc... I think otherwise it would be a bit dusty. Thanks for bringing back a very funny memory she will never be able to run from..I must call her.
