Cooking instruction summary:

Line a 9" brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.In a high-speed blender (I used my Vitamix), add the black beans, cottage cheese, homemade Nutella, powdered erythritol and stevia extract. Turn on low speed and use the tamper to mix the the ingredients together. Increase the speed and blend until COMPLETELY smooth. Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.Sprinkle 1 tbs of the psyllium husk powder into the bowl WHILE whisking.Again, sprinkle 1 tbs of the psyllium husk powder into the bowl while whisking.Switch from a whisk to a rubber spatula. Sprinkle 1 tbs of the psyllium powder into the bowl while folding in with the spatula. Repeat this step with the last 1 tbs of psyllium.Scoop the mixture into the prepared brownie pan and spread it out. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for ~2-3 hours, or until the fudge has mostly firmed up (it shouldn't be super soft or rock hard, it should be somewhere in the middle)Remove the fudge from the pan and slice into 36 pieces.Add the cocoa powder to a dish and roll the fudge in to coat. Place the fudge on a serving plate and refrigerate overnight (this allows the flavors to meld and the flavor to improve!)
