Ingredients
1/2cupwhipping cream
1ouncesugar
2whole bananas
1/2tablespoonlemon juice
2ounceschocolate (NOTE 1)dark
1tablespooninstant 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. Allow the melted chocolate to cool.
Add the cooled melted chocolate, the banana-lemon mash and the instant coffee to the whipped cream and fold it together. Don't over-mix as you may lose the incorporated air.
Divide the banana chocolate mousse over 4 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
You can also use bittersweet chocolate or a mixture. All depending on what type of chocolate you want.
