A mousse (Template:IPAc-en, Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Literally) 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 savory.[1]

History

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Various desserts consisting of whipped cream in pyramidal shapes with coffee, liqueurs, chocolate, fruits, and so on either in the mixture or poured on top were called Script error: No such module "Lang". ('cream in a foam'), Script error: No such module "Lang". ('foamy cream'), Script error: No such module "Lang". ('foam'), and so on,[2][3] as early as 1768.[4][5][6] Modern mousses are a continuation of this tradition.

Types

Sweet

Sweet mousses are typically made with whipped egg whites, whipped cream,[7] or both, and flavored with one or more of chocolate, coffee, caramel,[8] puréed fruits, or various herbs and spices, such as mint or vanilla.[9] 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.[10] It is sometimes stabilized with gelatin.[11][12]

Savory

Savory 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]

Molded and shaped fish mousse with bread and butter remains a popular meal of American cuisine, if not a party dip, although it is not as common as it was in the 1950s.[13][14]
