Here’s a simple and delicious Banana Mousse recipe—creamy, light, and naturally sweet. Perfect for a quick dessert or individual servings.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional garnish: sliced bananas, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare bananas
- Peel and mash bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Whip the cream
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Combine
- Gently fold the mashed bananas into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Chill
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving.
- Serve
- Garnish with sliced bananas, chocolate shavings, or a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor.
- For a tropical twist, add a teaspoon of lime juice or a splash of rum extract.
- Can be made vegan by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
