This four-ingredient chocolate banana mousse is the ultimate summer dessert

As temperatures soar during the summer months, a chilled chocolate dessert can offer welcome relief. On 2 June, celebrity chef and MasterChef India judge Kunal Kapur took to Instagram to share a fuss-free recipe for chocolate banana mousse that requires only four common kitchen ingredients and can be prepared in a matter of minutes.

What Kunal Kapur said about the recipe

Accompanying the post, Kapur described the dessert in his own words. "This Chocolate Banana Mousse is rich, creamy, and naturally sweetened with ripe bananas.

Made with simple ingredients and blended to silky perfection, it's the perfect guilt-free dessert for when those chocolate cravings hit.

Whether enjoyed as an afternoon treat or a post-dinner indulgence, this mousse is quick to make and absolutely delicious," he wrote in the caption.

Ingredients

The recipe calls for the following:

• Chopped dark chocolate (sweetened): 200g
• Large bananas: 3
• Peanut butter: 2 tbsp
• Unsweetened dairy cream: ¼ cup

Step-by-step method

Step 1 — Melt the chocolate: Finely chop a 200g slab of dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl set over a warm water bath. Stir continuously until the chocolate melts completely, then remove the bowl from the heat.

Step 2 — Prepare the blend: Peel three large bananas, break them in half, and add them to a blender. Overripe bananas are best suited for this recipe. Add the peanut butter, unsweetened cream, and the melted dark chocolate to the blender.

Step 3 — Blend to perfection: Blend all the ingredients for one-and-a-half to two minutes until the mixture turns light, fluffy, and smooth in consistency. The mousse is now almost ready.

Step 4 — Set in the refrigerator: Pour the blended mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for one to two hours.

Step 5 — Garnish and serve: Once the mousse has set fully, remove the glasses from the refrigerator, garnish with chopped chocolate bits, and serve.
