Mousse is a French dessert recognized worldwide for its light and creamy texture. Its name comes from the French word for "foam," referring to its main characteristic. Over time, this delicious dessert has been adopted by various cultures, and in Latin America it is common to find it under similar names, although some regional variants know it as "chocolate foam" or simply "mousse" adapted to the local language. Originating in France in the 18th century, mousse quickly became popular thanks to the combination of ingredients such as chocolate, cream, and beaten egg whites, which create an airy and smooth mixture. In countries like Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia, mousse is a favorite dessert for celebrations and family gatherings, often prepared with tropical fruits or cocoa.
