Peel the bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until they form a smooth puree.
Wash the lemons thoroughly. Zest one lemon to gather 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, then juice both lemons to extract approximately 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and granulated sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, then gently fold to combine.
Gradually fold the banana-lemon mixture into the cream and yogurt mixture. Mix until evenly incorporated but be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spoon the mixture into dessert glasses, small bowls, or ramekins. Smooth the tops with a spatula for a clean presentation.
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an herbal note.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set.
