A mousse dessert was first made out of egg yolks, whites, chocolate and sugar but most of the modern mousse dessert recipes advice adding cream as well. The addition of cream imparts a different flavor altogether. It is a light and creamy dessert that was popularized by the French cuisine but is now popular all over the world. Various mousse dessert recipes are available that allow the chef to prepare different flavors of mousse dessert like lemon, chocolate and a host of other variations. This gives people the choice to select the one that they like the most. It is best known for its light and fluffy texture though some also prefer creamy and thick options. Sometimes, chicken liver and other types of meat are also added to impart a completely different taste and texture to the final product. It has gained popularity to such an extent that a number of people in American and English homes feel that a meal is not complete without a mousse dessert.
