Ingredients
2 tablespoons Low-fat 1% milk
4 teaspoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 Medium banana, quartered
1 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
8 slices Fresh banana slices, 1/4-inch thick, for garnish
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before beginning preparation.
Add the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and quartered banana pieces to a blender.
Blend on high speed for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
Pour the blended banana mixture into a small bowl. Gently fold in the yogurt until no streaks remain and the mousse is light and evenly combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until well chilled.
Divide the mousse evenly among four dessert dishes or glasses. Top each serving with two banana slices just before serving.
Comments
This is a genuinely cheap dessert built from staples every Charlotte grocer stocks—milk, yogurt, sugar, vanilla, and bananas are available everywhere, and the cost per serving lands well under two dollars. The stated 40 minutes is honest; whipping and chilling takes that time, though active work is maybe ten minutes. It's fussy in that it needs attention to texture and timing but requires no special equipment beyond a bowl and whisk, making it approachable for a weeknight. The one real drawback is reheating: mousse is a same-night dish that separates if refrigerated beyond a day or two, so plan to serve immediately after the chill."
