Keto Zenzai is a delightful low-carb twist on the traditional Japanese sweet red bean soup, featuring rich, creamy coconut milk and naturally sweetened with erythritol. This comforting dessert is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying within your ketogenic diet.

Ingredients

• Canned adzuki beans - 200 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml

• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) - 2 tablespoons (for garnish)

Steps
