Cacao Banana Mousse
Cacao Banana Mousse
A simple, deeply satisfying dessert made with ripe bananas, raw cashews, and rich cacao. This naturally sweet mousse is creamy, nourishing, and best enjoyed well chilled.
Ingredients
2 extra-ripe bananas
3 cups raw cashews
6–8 tablespoons cacao powder (to taste)
3 cups non-dairy milk of choice
A dash of vanilla
A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about 4–5 minutes. Pause as needed to scrape down the sides to ensure an even texture.
Transfer the mousse to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing it to fully set.
To Serve & Store
Serve chilled on its own, or topped with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The texture will continue to thicken slightly as it chills.
