Layers of chocolate-kissed phyllo dough, chocolate mousse and bananas make this
a lover's dream. You'll also appreciate the convenience: The napoleons
can be made up to two hours in advance if kept refrigerated.
1 sheet(s) phyllo dough, regular or whole-wheat
1 spray(s) cooking spray, butter flavor
2 1/2 tbsp sugar, divided
1 3/4 tsp unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
1 tbsp cornstarch
2/3 cup(s) fat-free whipped topping
1 medium banana(s), peeled and thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 350F. Place sheet of phyllo dough long-side facing you on a
parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spray with butter-flavored cooking spray.
Fold phyllo lengthwise in thirds, for a narrow sheet, about 18 inches long.
Spray again.
Stir 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cocoa together in cup. Sprinkle
sugar mixture over phyllo. Cut phyllo crosswise into 6 equal strips using sharp
knife. Spread out on baking sheet. Bake in oven until crisp and lightly
browned, 8 minutes. Cool.
Meanwhile, scald milk (heat to just below boiling point) in a small pot. Add
remaining sugar and stir to dissolve.
Combine remaining cocoa and cornstarch in cup. Pour in enough hot milk to make
a paste. Stir and return to pot. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly,
until thick. Spoon into bowl and cool completely.
To assemble, fold whipped topping into chocolate mixture. Spread 2 heaping
tablespoons mousse mixture over each phyllo sheet. Top each with banana slices.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on dessert plate. Add 2 more layers. Repeat to make second
serving. Yields 1 per serving.
