🌍 A Little History Behind Chocolate Mousse

Chocolate mousse has its roots in France. The word “mousse” means “foam” in French. The dessert became popular in the 18th century and was refined over time by French chefs like Marie-Antoine Carême, who elevated many classic desserts.

Traditional chocolate mousse is made with eggs, sugar, cream, and chocolate. However, modern healthy variations have become popular thanks to nutrition trends and high-protein diets. Cottage cheese mousse is a contemporary twist designed for people who want indulgence with benefits.
