Mousse is a light and airy dessert made by whipping cream, egg whites, or both to create a fluffy, smooth texture. It’s often sweet, though there are also savory versions. Sweet mousses usually contain ingredients like chocolate, fruit purées, or flavorings such as vanilla.

The word “mousse” actually means “foam” in French, which reflects its delicate, frothy consistency. The dessert is often chilled and served in small cups or glasses, sometimes topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or garnishes like chocolate shavings.
