Notes
- To make banana mousse, always use fresh and sweet bananas. Avoid using under-ripe bananas because this might result in an astringent taste in the banana mousse.
- Instead of using honey as a sweetener, you can even use maple syrup, white sugar, raw sugar, coconut sugar or any other sweetener that you like.
- You can adjust the quantity of any sweetener you are using according to your taste.
- The whipping cream should have milk fat of about 25% to 50%.
- Adding lemon juice doesn’t let the bananas lose their original colour and helps to slow down the oxidation process.
- Before adding the banana mix to the containers, you can add a swirl of caramel to the containers and then add the mixture. Top it with a drizzle of caramel too.
- You can also add a vanilla wafer to the containers and then pour the banana puree on top of it.
