Banana mousse with caramelized walnuts
Today we are going to dedicate this dessert to one of the fruits that both children and adults love: the banana. In addition, it's very healthy because it has a great source of potassium and provide energy, and it's yummy! Today we decided to eat it like a mousse.
Ingredients for 6 units:
- 18 oz of peeled bananas
- 14 oz of whipping cream
- 3.5 oz of sugar
- The juice of 1 lemon
- 30 pieces caramelized walnuts from Els Noguers
Recipe:
- Peel the bananas and cut them into slices.
- In a large glass suitable for blender, introduce the banana, half of the caramelized walnuts and lemon juice.
- Beat well for a few minutes until you have a smooth cream.
- To mount the cream it is better that it is cold, so you must have put it in the fridge a few hours before along with the bowl where you go to mount it.
- When both are cold, pour the cream into the bowl.
- Place the rod attachment to the blender and start beating until the cream is set. (You can check it by picking up a little cream with a spoon, if you turn around and do not slip easily, it's already done).
- Carefully pour on the cream the banana and caramelized walnuts puree.
- Start mixing it carefully with the help of a silicone paddle making wrapping movements (ie as if you draw the number 8), delicately but steadily until everything is well mixed.
- Serve in individual rations and store in the fridge at least an hour until you are going to serve.
- Decorate with the rest of the caramelized walnuts above.
Bon appétit!
