Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 120 ml strong brewed coffee
- 300 ml heavy whipping cream
- 50 g powdered sugar
- 3 ripe bananas
- 150 g digestive biscuits or graham crackers (crushed)
- 50 g butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by creating the biscuit base. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers with the melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press a thin layer of the biscuit mixture into the bottom of serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
To make the mocha mousse, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Add the strong brewed coffee to the melted chocolate and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Reserve about 50 ml of whipped cream for garnish.
Carefully fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream, mixing gently until fully incorporated to make a smooth mocha mousse.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin, even rounds.
Assemble the dessert by layering ingredients in the glasses or bowls. Start with the biscuit base, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of mocha mousse. Repeat the layers until the serving glasses are full, finishing with a top layer of mousse.
Chill the assembled desserts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Just before serving, garnish each dessert with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and optional dark chocolate shavings for extra flair. Serve cold and enjoy!
