What is mousse?
It is a light, whipped treat that can be either sweet or savory. There are almost infinite flavor combinations available. Pumpkin, peanut butter, and fruit flavors like clementine, pomegranate, and mango are some of our favorites.
Recipe variations:
- Mixed berries: Add in some blackberries and blueberries into the puree.
- Mixed fruits: Blend in some sweet mangoes, kiwis, or passion fruits into the strawberries.
- Curd topping: Top with lemon curd, vanilla bean strawberry curd, or key lime curd instead of cream for a refreshing finish.
- Trifle: Alternate layers of fruit, chiffon, mousse, and whipped cream.
