Ingredients for chocolate banana mousse
- Chopped dark chocolate sweetened: 200 gms
- Large bananas: 3
- Peanut butter: 2 tbsp
- Unsweetened dairy cream: 1/4 cup
Method of preparation
- To make chocolate banana mouse, the first step is to melt the chocolate. Take a slab of dark chocolate and chop it up well. Place the chocolate inside a bowl, and the bowl on a heated water bath. This will allow the chocolate to slowly melt. Keep stirring as the chocolate melts. When the chocolate has completely melted, remove it from the heated water bath.
- Next, take three large bananas and peel them. Break them in half and add them to a blender. Over-ripe bananas work best for the mousse. Along with the bananas, add peanut butter, unsweetened cream, and the molten dark chocolate.
- Now, blend them well for one-and-a-half to two minutes. After blending, it should become light and fluffy and reach a smooth consistency. The mousse is almost ready.
- Pour the mixture into serving glasses and then place them into the refrigerator for one to two hours.
- Take the mousse out once it has set completely. Garnish with chopped chocolate bits and enjoy.
