Chocolate Banana Mousse Recipe
February 25, 2015
Is there anything that chocolate doesn't pair well with? Of all the things chocolate lovers love pairing with their desserts, banana is one of my very favorites. In fact, the best dessert I ever had was a big dish of banana and Nutella crepes. Talk about delicious!
Culinary artists have found many ways to pair chocolate and banana. There's the time tested, mother-approved monkey tail, taking summers by storm since what - 1959 or so? Nowadays you've also got chocolate banana bread, chocolate and banana pie, chocolate and banana smoothies, and so much more.
This recipe for chocolate and banana mousse is another fun way to enjoy two amazing food groups. Chocolate is of course a food group, if you ask us.
Chocolate Banana Mousse
Combine chocolate, 1/4 cup milk and the sugar substitute in top of double boiler. (Chill remaining milk in freezer.) Cook and stir over simmering water until chocolate melts. Pour small amount of hot chocolate mixture over egg yolks and beat well. Pour egg mixture into chocolate mixture on top of double boiler. Stir in salt. Cook and stir over hot water until mixture thickens. Cool completely. Scrape cold or slightly frozen milk into mixing bowl and beat until very stiff. Fold chocolate mixture into stiffly beaten milk. Fold in vanilla and banana slices. Spoon into mold, freezer tray or individual cups and freeze until firm. |
Enjoy! 🙂
