Mousse is made by folding beaten egg whites or whipped cream into a cold milk and sugar base. Unlike pudding, mousse is not cooked and the addition of air to the mixture leads to a fluffier consistency and lighter texture. Mousse is typically served chilled or frozen.
The French, lovers of culinary wonder, were first to discover mousse. It is actually a French word meaning “froth” or “foam.” “Mousse au chocolat” is French for chocolate mousse. The United States first became acquainted with chocolate mousse at a Food Exposition held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1892.
Chocolate mousse, besides being delectable, also has a fascinating history. It was first known as mayonnaise de chocolat and, even more interesting, was invented by world-renowned French post-impressionist painter Henri Toulouse-Lautrec in the late 19th century.
