(Stephanie) - This is a super quick, yummy little treat. Just three ingredients! Although I've never made what I've seen called banana soft-serve ice cream, I'm guessing this mousse recipe is quite similar. I copied this recipe down on a piece of paper sometime ago, I'm pretty sure that it came from Food Network, but now I can't remember.

I love that this dessert can be considered healthy and can be made without planning ahead or turning on the oven. Hope you enjoy this prefect summer treat!

  1. Yep, that's just like banana soft-serve, but I bet the addition of honey and salt make it extra good. I hadn't thought of adding a pinch of salt, but now I want to try that... a little salty sweet is always SO good.
