Some desserts demand hours of labor, precise temperatures, and a pastry degree. And then there's this one.
This banana mousse is the kind of recipe that feels like cheating. Five minutes. A handful of ingredients. No gelatin, no eggs, no complicated techniques. Yet somehow, it emerges as something that tastes like it came from a charming Italian café—creamy, light, and absolutely irresistible.
The secret? A combination of sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream creates a silky, airy base, while caramelized bananas add depth and richness. It's quick enough for a weeknight craving, elegant enough for dinner parties, and so delicious that you'll find yourself making it just because.
Five minutes. That's all it takes. Let's make some magic.
