mousse (/ˈmuːs/; French: [mus]; "foam") is a soft prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light
and airy texture. Depending on preparation techniques, it can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick.
A mousse may be sweet or savoury.Sweet mousses are typically made with whipped egg whites, whipped cream,
or both, and flavored with one or more of chocolate, coffee, caramel,[3] puréed fruits, or various herbs and
spices, such as mint or vanilla.[4] In the case of some chocolate mousses, egg yolks are often stirred into melted
chocolate to give the final product a richer mouthfeel. Mousses are also typically chilled before being served,
which gives them a denser texture. Additionally, mousses are often frozen into silicone molds and unmolded to
give the mousse a defined shape. Sweetened mousse is served as a dessert or used as an airy cake filling.
It is sometimes stabilized with gelatin.
Savoury mousses can be made from meat, fish, shellfish, foie gras, cheese, or vegetables.
Hot mousses often get their light texture from the addition of beaten egg whites.[1]
