Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup whipping cream
  • 0.5 ounce sugar
  • 1 whole banana
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 ounces chocolate (NOTE 1) dark
  • 1/2 tablespoon instant coffee

Instructions

  • Pour well-chilled cream in a bowl, add the sugar and beat the cream to a consistency that it barely holds mounds, using an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk.
  • Peel the bananas and mash them finely with a fork; add the lemon juice and incorporate this into the banana mousse. Reserve a few thin slices of banana for your decoration. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the reserved banana slices to avoid them from turning brown.
  • Cut the chocolate into chunks and shards with a serrated knife. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or au-bain-marie over a stove, until the chocolate is completely melted and has a smooth consistency. Add the instant coffee that is dissolved in just a tiny bit of warm water, making concentrated coffee. Cool the chocolate mixture just a little bit. (NOTE 2)
  • Add the cooled melted chocolate, the banana-lemon mash to the whipped cream and fold it together. Don't over-mix as you may lose the incorporated air, but do make sure it is well combined.
  • Divide the banana chocolate mousse over 2 dessert bowls. Place the bowls in the refrigerator to cool them down completely.
  • Decorate the banana chocolate mousse with slices of banana and chocolate shavings, just before serving.

Notes

  1. You can also use bittersweet chocolate or a mixture. All depending on what type of chocolate you want.
  2. I like to melt the chocolate to a smooth texture, but if you like some crunch, don't melt all the chocolate, but keep some chocolate pieces behind and add those when you mix it all together and the mousse will have tiny chocolate pieces.
