Instructions
Chop the chocolate and add them to a small bowl or a pan.
Add 1 tbsp cream to the chocolate.
In a double boiler or with the pan kept above boiling water, melt the chocolate.
The water should just touch 1/2 inch of the pan from below. Take care the water does not spill in the chocolate.
Keep on stirring and and let all the chocolate melt.
You can also microwave the chocolate on high power for upto 45 seconds to a minute. If some bits of the chocolate are not melted, then just keep on stirring till the chocolate bits are melted. No need to microwave again as the food keeps on cooking even after we remove it from the microwave. The chocolate would be cooking and you just keep on stirring it, till all is melted.
Allow the melted chocolate to become warm or cool completely.
Slice and puree the bananas in a blender with instant coffee & cinnamon powder till smooth.

Then add melted chocolate.
Pulse again for some seconds for 2 to 3 times till everything is mixed properly.
Pour the banana mousse mixture in bowls or shot glasses.
