  • About

Frozen mousses are light frozen desserts containing whipped cream. Although they are all similar in character because of their whipped cream content, the bases for them are made in several ways. Three types of preparation are included here:

  • Mousse with Italian meringue base.
  • Mousse with syrup and fruit base.
  • Mousse with custard base.
The mixture for bombes and parfaits can also be used for mousses.
The simplest method for serving mousse is to pour the mixture into individual serving dishes and freeze them. The mixture can also be poured into molds of various shapes. After unmolding, cut the mousse into portions and decorate it with whipped cream and appropriate fruits, cookies, or other items.
