Description | 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. A mousse may be sweet or savory.

For savory mousse, hard boiled egg, fish or liver may be used. | ||||||||||
