Germany Mousse au Chocolat
Mousse au Chocolat may be the perfect dessert, with its rich taste and silky smooth texture. Mousse, which means “foam,” can be light and fluffy or creamy and thick. Mousse originated in France in the 18th century, with chocolate brought to Europe by Spaniards after learning of its use by the Aztecs. A delicious finish for any meal, the creamy texture of mousse au chocolat is similar to pot de crème. Recipe Servings: Serves 8
