60-Second Chocolate Mousse
December 21, 2011
If you're having guests come over to your house, you can always serve chocolate mousse as a dessert. Whether your visitors are kids or kids at heart, chocolate mousse will definitely make you hear them go 'mmmm'. Plus, you can make it without much hassle.
Just in case you wanted to know, the word mousse is French and it means foam or lather. This is a specialty in French restaurants, which made its way into the British and American culture in the 1960s. The most essential part in creating chocolate mousse is the foam, which gives this treat an airy and light texture. You have the freedom of choice to prepare it light and fluffy or creamy and thick. It all boils down to your liking.
This simple yet appetizing dessert can come in handy this time of year especially when all the food you've prepared is finished by some other guests, and unexpected ones come over!
