mousse

Whipped chocolate dessert

Mousse is a light, airy preparation with a foamy texture, held together by whipped cream or beaten egg whites.

The word comes from French for foam or froth.

Chocolate mousse is the classic dessert version, but savory mousses exist: salmon mousse, chicken liver mousse.

Hair mousse is a styling foam that adds volume and hold.
