Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed banana, about 3 medium bananas
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla essence or extract
- 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
- 1 Tbsp cocoa, or to your taste
Instructions
-
Mix mashed bananas with whipped cream, powdered sugar and vanilla essence.
-
Combine gelatin with 1 tablespoon water. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Heat until gelatin dissolves and immediately fold into banana mixture. In two dessert glasses, portion half of the banana mixture.
-
Add cocoa to another half of the mixture and spoon on top. Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for 4 hours before serving. Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
I think you may have left the cocoa out of the ingredients list.
Is vanilla essence the same as/similar to vanilla extract?
Is there a specific amount of cocoa or just put in until tastes right?
I used about 1 tablespoon of cocoa, but you can use more or less – depending on your taste.
Vanilla essence is not exactly the same as vanilla extract, but you can use any of them:

Chocolate and banana dessert sounds so good.. and this mousse looks really yummy!
Looks really delicious…
I’m wondering if it would still work if i left out the gelatin though (vegetarian here!).
I’ve tried to replace it with agar-agar once in a different recipe and that went terribly wrong.
What do you think?
