Frejol colado

Frejol colado is a traditional Afro-Peruvian dessert consisting of black beans, sugar, milk, and spices. The beans are skinned, mashed into a purée, then cooked with sugar, milk, and spices such as cloves, sesame seeds, and anise seeds until the dish develops a thick texture. Before serving, frejol colado is usually garnished with toasted sesame seeds. The dessert was first prepared over 400 years ago, and it is believed that it originates from Chincha and Cañete. Nowadays, it's traditionally prepared for Easter, though it can be consumed at any time of the year.
