National Mousse Day
Celebrate
National Mousse Day! Mousse is a divine dessert made from egg whites
and cream. Did you know that “mousse” is the French word for “foam”?
It’s a fitting name for this light, fluffy, and decadent confection!
Chocolate
mousse was a specialty in French restaurants during the 1800s, but now
it can be found in restaurants and households worldwide. Popular
variations include different kinds of chocolate, nut, and fruit flavors.
To celebrate National Mousse Day, make your favorite type of mousse for you and your friends!
