A frozen mousse is composed of two foams: either an egg yolk foam and heavy cream, or an egg yolk foam and an egg white foam, plus a flavor base (fruit purée, chocolate, or infused heavy cream). Typically a frozen mousse will contain equal parts of the combined foams and the flavor base (1:1 ratio), which makes it the densest aerated frozen dessert.
