🥣 Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate, to taste)
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3 eggs
- 30g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- Whipped cream (for decoration, optional)
- Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chocolate:
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until completely melted. Let it cool slightly.
2️⃣ Prepare the Bananas:
- Mash the Bananas: In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
3️⃣ Beat the Egg Whites:
- Whip the Whites: In another bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and beat them until stiff peaks form. This will give your mousse a light, airy texture.
4️⃣ Mix Ingredients:
- Combine Yolks and Sugar: In a bowl with the egg yolks, add the sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Then add the melted chocolate and mix well.
- Add Bananas: Stir the banana puree into the chocolate mixture until smooth.
5️⃣ Fold in the Egg Whites:
- Gently Fold: Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate-banana mixture, using a spatula and making upward motions to keep the air in the mix and achieve a light mousse texture.
6️⃣ Refrigerate:
- Chill: Pour the mousse into ramekins or serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7️⃣ Serve:
- Decorate and Serve: Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
🍫 Bon appétit!
