Banana mousse is a delicious, healthy and very quick to prepare dessert. At its most basic, the dessert consists of just four ingredients: bananas, egg white, a pinch of powdered sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. With such an ascetic composition, the mousse turns out to be dietary and light, but at the same time incredibly tempting in taste. Lush, airy like a cloud, the mousse has a rich banana aroma and taste and literally melts in your mouth. Try it!
Prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and cool.
Add ripe banana cut into pieces, as well as 1 tsp. lemon juice - so that the banana does not darken, and a little honey - for sweetness. If desired, add 1-2 pinches of turmeric - it will make the color of the dessert more saturated.
Grind the ingredients to a smooth puree.
Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice to the cooled egg whites and beat everything for a few minutes at low speed until the mass becomes fluffy and increases in volume by 4-5 times.
Then, continuing to beat, in portions of 1 tbsp. add powdered sugar and beat the mixture at medium speed for a few more minutes, until the so-called. hard peaks - a state when the protein mass becomes elastic, shiny, holds its shape confidently and does not fall out of the bowl when it is turned over.
In portions of 1 tbsp. Add the beaten egg whites to the mashed bananas and mix everything gently.
When mixing the components, move from bottom to top, from the edges of the container to the center. This way the whipped whites will retain their fluffiness and the mixture will turn out very airy.
Divide the prepared mass into portion forms.
If desired, you can also add some cookies, sponge cake soaked in fruit juice, and/or thinly sliced bananas to the banana mousse molds (sprinkle the banana pieces with lemon juice first). Cookies will add nutrition to the dessert, and banana pieces will highlight its taste.
Place the prepared dessert in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes so that the mousse hardens. Then decorate the dessert according to your mood and serve.
Banana mousse is ready. Bon appetit!
Step 1: Prepare banana mousse.
Banana mousse can be prepared in different ways and from different ingredients. We will prepare it like this - first we will take a blender, a knife and a cutting board. Peel the bananas and cut them into medium-sized pieces. Place them in a blender bowl along with vanilla sugar, lemon juice and honey. If you are not a honey fan, you can add sugar instead. So, turn on the blender and grind the contents for 20-30 seconds. We admire the mashed mass and add cream, and then beat again with a blender for 10-15 seconds.
And again we take the knife, and with it the eggs and the glass. We need to separate the whites from the yolks as carefully as possible - if you separate the whites carelessly, they will not beat well. Using a mixer or blender, turn the whites into thick white foam. Gradually add the banana-honey mass to a plate with protein foam, mix lightly and spread the mousse into bowls, which we place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so that the mousse cools a little and thickens. Step 2: Decorate and serve banana mousse.
Decorate the finished delicacy with grated chocolate chips and serve. Banana mousse is very tasty and has a delicate honey taste, and therefore both adults and children will like it. This personal dessert can also be prepared for a holiday table. Bon appetit! Instead of egg whites, you can use other foam fixatives such as gelatin and agar. Sometimes semolina is also used, which swells and allows the dish to achieve a similar state.
The finished dessert can be decorated with grated cookies, whipped cream, chopped nuts or berries. Or slices of the same banana and mint leaves.
Instead of bananas, or to accompany them, other fruits and berries are also suitable. And instead of lemon juice, you can put a pinch of citric acid.
Egg yolks can be used for other dishes.
This mousse can be used as a filling for cakes and pies.
The recipe can be changed and mousse can be prepared from kefir, sour cream, condensed milk, etc.
Banana mousse is a light dessert, tender and airy, like a cloud. It smells very tasty of tropical fruits, not at all cloying, although sweet. The taste and consistency of the mousse is similar to bird's milk, just as weightless and porous.
Secrets of making banana mousse
- There are several different banana mousse recipes. But the principle of preparation remains the same: first, bananas are crushed in a blender, then sugar or powder is added to the puree, as well as whipped cream or sour cream. In order for the dessert to keep its shape well, thickeners are added to its composition - instant gelatin or whipped chicken whites.
- The most delicious banana mousse is made with the addition of cream - it must be of maximum fat content, above 30%. The cream holds its shape perfectly and gives the dessert a soft, very delicate taste. If you replace them with sour cream, the mousse will turn out less airy, with a bitterness and a not very pleasant aftertaste. In addition, when whipped, sour cream can separate and become liquid.
- It is better to use gelatin as a thickener, which will quickly “grab” the fluffy mixture and prevent the dessert from falling off when it hardens. If you still want to use whipped whites instead of gelatin, you must be absolutely sure of the freshness of the eggs, because they will not be subjected to heat treatment.
- As you know, bananas darken when exposed to oxygen, so I suggest adding a dye to the mousse - it must be food coloring, to which you and your children are not allergic. Just one pinch of yellow dye will tint the mousse a nice banana color, which will look very attractive on the table.
Be sure to pamper yourself and your loved ones with aromatic banana mousse, especially since preparing it is as easy as shelling pears, and the pleasure will last for the whole day! It holds its shape perfectly and is very tasty. It can be served as a separate dessert or used as cream for a cake. The only thing you shouldn’t do is count calories; banana mousse, although light, is by no means dietary!

Banana mousse – a delicious and exquisite delicacy that cannot be tasted in all cafes or restaurants. But, at the same time, every housewife can prepare it at home using ordinary kitchen utensils. This delicacy turns out porous, airy and tender.
Banana mousse, the recipe and photo of which we will provide to your attention, will be an excellent decoration for the festive table, which will delight all guests. Also, this delicacy, due to the fact that its recipe is quite simple, can be made on an ordinary day, thereby delighting your household with a delicious treat.
After trying and spending a little time cooking, your banana mousse will turn out appetizing and tender, and its appearance will be the same as in the photo. Intrigued? Then read the recipe carefully and let's go!
This is a regular mousse without any additives, which retains the pronounced taste of banana. It requires the following ingredients:
- 2 bananas;
- 150 g cream 25% fat;
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice;
- 1 tablespoon honey;
- 2 egg whites;
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla sugar.
To make the banana mousse really tasty and sweet, the recipe calls for the use of good, yellow, ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the tastier it will be. We peel them, and then cut them into pieces and put them in a bowl. Add lemon juice, vanilla sugar and honey to bananas.
Mix everything thoroughly with a blender to obtain a homogeneous mass, without any lumps. After this, we need to pour cream into our mass, and then beat the mass again. As for the latter, the recipe allows for the use of thicker cream, for example, the classic 33% fat. With them, the banana mousse will turn out even more tender, tastier and, most importantly, tastier, and will be as beautiful as in the photo.
So, we set the banana-cream mixture whipped in a blender aside and begin beating the eggs. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites. Our whites must be clean, without shell particles or inclusions of yolks. We beat them, of course. We do this using a mixer, since you will have to beat it with a whisk for a very long time and intensively. We beat our whites until they form a fluffy foam, or rather, stable, white and shiny peaks.
After this step, we are faced with a difficult but very important task: we need to mix the banana mass with the proteins. It is the proteins that will give our mousse fluffiness, so you need to mix it very, very carefully. We put the whites on top, not all at once, but dividing them in half, thus mixing them in two batches. Mix carefully, from top to bottom. As a result, you should get a homogeneous mass of a pleasant color, as in the photo. As you can see, the recipe is very simple, because the banana mousse is almost ready. All we have to do is put it into beautiful bowls or glasses and put it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. When we take out our banana mousse, you can decorate it with nuts on top, place a slice of some fruit on the wall of the bowl, or sprinkle with grated chocolate. The recipe does not limit you in this matter.
Banana-orange dessert
This recipe is special because we use orange juice in it, and the banana mousse we get has notes of orange, which gives it an unforgettable taste. For this delicacy we will need:
- 3 bananas;
- 1 glass of orange juice, or even better, fresh juice;
- 2 packs of orange jelly;
- 300 ml of concentrated sterilized milk;
- Half a glass of sugar.
And this recipe involves starting the preparation by working with bananas. We clean them, then cut them into circles and put them in a saucepan. Then pour orange juice into them and add sugar. then put our saucepan on low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and, stirring, boil the bananas until they become mushy. Cook our gruel, counting from the moment it boils, about seven minutes. and then turn off the fire.
Then take the jelly. If you have one that doesn’t need to be soaked, immediately put it in banana porridge. If it is one that needs to be soaked, add about six tablespoons of water to it, wait until it swells, and then dissolve over heat, without allowing it to boil. Then add to the banana pulp.
We need to cool the concentrated milk and then beat it well with a mixer. This milk has the wonderful property of whipping into excellent fluffy foam. When the milk has whipped, carefully add it to the banana mixture and stir gently. If you do not find such milk, the recipe calls for using cream instead, which also needs to be whipped.
After this, put the mousse into bowls or cups and put it in the refrigerator. Let him sit there all night. As you can see, preparing such a delight as in the photo is very easy, and every housewife will definitely make banana mousse.
