For the Mousse

30 g 30 g (1 oz) butter
3 pieces 3 ripe bananas Ripe bananas are key for sweetness and flavor.
10 g 10 g (0.35 oz) vanilla sugar Can substitute with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
250 ml 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) milk For creaminess, use whole milk instead of low-fat.
150 g 150 g (5.3 oz) sweetened condensed milk Adds sweetness and creamy texture.

For Serving

as needed servings Whipped cream (optional, for serving) Can be topped with whipped cream and reserved banana slices.

Preparation

Begin by peeling the bananas and slicing them. Set aside a couple of slices for garnish.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the banana slices and sprinkle with vanilla sugar. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the bananas are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Blending

In a blender, combine the cooled fried bananas, milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. For an airier texture, blend for an additional minute to incorporate more air.

Serving

Pour the banana mousse into serving cups or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
When ready to serve, top with whipped cream and the reserved banana slices for an extra touch.

This mousse can be made ahead of time and is best served chilled. Variations include chocolate and peanut butter options.
