Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 1/3 cups chilled whipping cream
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
5 tablespoons dark rum
1 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Stir chocolate, 1/3 cup cream, 1/3 cup water and corn syrup in heavy medium sauce-pan over medium-low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Let cool until just lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Whisk in rum, then mascarpone. Beat 1 cup cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into chocolate mixture in 2 additions.
  • Peel and thinly slice 2 bananas on diagonal. Arrange 3 slices in each of eight 8- to 10-ounce goblets or coupes. Spoon mousse atop bananas, dividing equally. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead; keep chilled.)
  • Beat remaining 1 cup of cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Spoon or pipe cream decoratively atop each mousse. Peel and slice remaining banana. Garnish each mousse with banana slices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mousse turned out grainy. I think I might have used the wrong kind of chocolate.

This mousse was just okay. It wasn't as light and fluffy as I was hoping for.

I had some trouble getting the mousse to set. I think I might have over-whipped the cream.

This mousse was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of chocolate and bananas, but it actually worked really well. The mousse was rich and decadent, while the bananas added a light and fruity flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of chocolate mousse, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so light and airy, and the bananas added a nice touch of sweetness.
