Mousse

Mousse is a light dessert whose name means “foam” in French. It is made by combining whipped cream, meringue, or whipped egg foam with a flavoring. The air trapped inside gives it a texture that melts on the spoon. It can be made with chocolate, fruit, or coffee.

Where It’s Used

“Divide the chocolate mousse among glasses and chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours.”
