Banana Mousse with Butterscotch Ripple



A deliciously easy recipe from Gordon Ramsay's "Fast Food" cookbook.




Ingredients
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 40g unsalted butter
  • 550ml chilled double cream
  • 4 large ripe bananas, ideally chilled in the freezer for 1-2 hours
  • 1 squeeze lemon juice
  • 1 bar dark chocolate , for grating
Serves 4
Total time required 20 mins
  • Preparation time: 15 mins
  • Cooking time: 5 mins

Instructions
  1. Put the sugar, butter and 150 ml of the cream in a pan over a medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar is dissolved and the butter melted. Let bubble for a minute or two, stirring frequently, then remove from the heat and leave the sauce to cool completely.
  2. Pour the remaining cream into a blender. Peel and chop the bananas and add to the blender along with a squeeze of lemon juice. Whiz until smooth, thick and creamy.
  3. Spoon a little sauce around the sides of four glasses, smudging some of it for an attractive effect. Divide the banana mousse among the glasses and top with more butterscotch. Use a small teaspoon to ripple the butterscotch through the mousse. Grate over a little dark chocolate and chill until ready to serve.
