Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Pour 2 tablespoons of hot water over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute to soften.
Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly before using.
Step 2: Blend the Bananas
In a blender or food processor, combine:
- Banana chunks
- Cinnamon (if using)
- Vanilla extract (if using)
Blend for 1–2 minutes , or until smooth and creamy—like soft-serve consistenc
Step 3: Combine Chocolate and Banana
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate .
Continue blending for 2–3 minutes , until the mixture becomes light, airy, and fully incorporated.
If the mousse is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of warm water at a time until you reach your desired texture.
Taste and adjust with a touch of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter (though it’s usually plenty sweet as-is!).
Step 4: Portion into Servings
Divide the mousse evenly among 4 serving glasses, ramekins, or bowls .
Use the back of a spoon to smooth or create decorative swirls on top.
Step 5: Chill Until Set
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours , or until chilled and firm.
Before serving, let the mousse rest at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly and enhance the creamy texture.
