Some desserts feel like a negotiation—multiple bowls, specialty ingredients, and a sink full of dishes. This one feels like a secret. A ripe banana, a bit of chocolate, and a blender are all it takes to make a mousse so creamy and rich that people assume there must be more to it.
There isn’t.
This 3-ingredient chocolate banana mousse is proof that great texture and deep flavor don’t require complexity. It’s naturally sweet, dairy-free, and indulgent in that “how is this so good?” way.
Why This Recipe Works
-
Bananas provide body – When ripe, they blend into a silky, custard-like base
-
Chocolate brings depth – Rich cocoa flavor balances the fruit’s sweetness
-
Cold temperature sets the texture – Chilling transforms it from smoothie to mousse
No eggs. No cream. No added sugar. Just smart ingredients doing their thing.
The 3 Ingredients
-
2 ripe bananas (spotted is perfect)
-
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate
-
1 tablespoon milk of choice (optional, for blending ease)
That’s it.
