What is National Mousse Day?

National Mousse Day, on November 30th, makes a delectable treat that can be savory or sweet.

What can we say about mousse? In French, the word "mousse" refers to "foam." To make a mousse, we usually whip egg whites or cream.. The consistency of mousse can vary from light and airy to thick and creamy, depending on the type of mousse.

This versatile dish lends itself well to both desserts and savory recipes. In fact, several types of mousse can be served at the same dish.. There is practically no limit to the flavors we can transform into a mousse from a smokey salmon mousse to a tart lemon or creamy chocolate mousse for dessert.

Mousse can also be used as a filling for other dishes such as pastries and parfaits. A savory mousse goes well with fruit and cheese plates, making beautiful appetizers as well..
