A mousse is a prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. It can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick, depending on preparation techniques. Fruit mousses are typically made with whipped egg whites or whipped cream and generally flavoured with chocolate or puréed fruit.
There are many variables in terms of recipe, process and finished product characteristics for acid, fruit mousse, including high fruit levels (pure fruit), cream content, aeration level, and texture and mouthfeel.
