A mousse is a stable prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. Depending on how it is prepared it can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick. Chocolate mousse is a classic French dessert full of decadence. It is quick and easy to make. Our friends the Culson family loves this dessert, they always asks for more or when can we have it again!!
