Posted by Marc BailesMousse is an airy dessert flavored with chocolate, combining a subtly sweet flavor with a foamy texture. The word means “foam.” But it’s also been used to describe moss, as if a garden bed’s carpetlike layer resembles the dessert. Mousse has been part of French cuisine since the 18th century, and not just for dessert. Even today, mousse is a savory main course commonly made from ham, poached chicken, foie gras, cheese, or vegetables.
