As I mentioned, Mr Duncan is banned from dairy.
I still have too many eggs and there is an over-ripe banana that needs using.
He’s feeling sorry for himself and wants a dessert.
Like most of my recipes, this one derives from the need to use things up instead of throw them away.
What can I give him using what we currently have in the house?
The base recipe below The Ultra Chocolate Mousse is from a magazine I copied into my recipe book in the years before we had the internet, when I was still living in New Zealand.Â
Jump to RecipeI’ve followed this recipe and served in glasses to dinner guests many times.
It is dead easy to do and always garners many compliments.
However it is very rich and doesn’t meet Mr Duncan’s dairy ban.
This is what I did instead:
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 overripe banana, well mashed
- 100gms dark chocolate
Method
1. Melt chocolate and blend with mashed banana.
2. Stir in egg yolks.
3. Whisk egg whites until stiff.
4. Fold chocolate/banana mix into the egg whites.
5. Spoon into glasses.
6. Refrigerate.
