Mexican Brownie Parfait
I love Chef Aj’s Black Bean Brownies. I used to sell them in my deli case, and they were always a hit. I once made a version similar to this for a catering job where I cut the brownies into small pieces and placed them in a parfait glass, topped them with Chocolate Pudding and fresh berries. This recipe is a spicy version of that dish.
