How to Make 3-Ingredient Banana Mousse
Step 1: Blend the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This gives the mousse a fluffy and airy texture.
Step 3: Combine & Chill
Gently fold the banana puree and honey into the whipped cream, mixing until well combined. Transfer the mousse into serving cups or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with sliced bananas, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or crushed nuts for added texture.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Mousse
- Use overripe bananas – The riper they are, the sweeter and smoother your mousse will be.
- Chill your cream before whipping – Cold heavy cream whips faster and holds its structure better.
- Let it set – Refrigerating for at least 30 minutes improves the mousse's consistency.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy on its own for a light, creamy treat.
- Top with dark chocolate shavings or chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Serve as a dip for fresh berries or graham crackers.
