Tastes light and sweet chocolate mousse.
There’s something about mousse recipes that you may have noticed – they’re all extremely different from one another. Some use whole eggs, some use egg whites only, and some don’t use eggs at all. Some use whipping cream or butter, while others don’t. There are plenty of variations, so what’s the difference?
Mousse means foam in French, which implies the airy texture this dessert should have. That’s why we either whip cream or egg whites to incorporate air into the mixture. Basically, the lightness of the mousse is dependent on the ratio of whipped cream or whipped egg whites to the other ingredients. Using just egg whites without cream will make the mousse more delicate and light, while adding egg yolks, butter, or cream (even if whipped) will create a richer flavor and somewhat heavier texture.
