The background of National Chocolate Mousse Day

We trust you are as prepared as we are for National Chocolate Mousse Day. You wouldn’t want to miss out on the delectable yumminess for anything.

As its name implies, chocolate mousse originated in France. The exact date of the dish’s creation is unknown, but a few historical hints enable us to piece together an estimate. Chocolate was first introduced to France in 1615. While chocolate was being incorporated into other delicacies, chocolate mousse was not created until the 1800s. At this stage, mousse was already a part of the savoury French cuisine.

After the French, the Americans popularised chocolate mousse. There are differing accounts as to when chocolate mousse was first introduced to the American public. In 1887, the recipe for chocolate mousse was advertised in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle for a culinary class taught by Miss Parloa. However, according to two other sources, the recipe was disclosed in 1892 by A) an exhibition and B) the Boston Daily Globe’s Housekeepers Column.

These contradictory accounts make us dizzy with perplexity, but in the end it doesn’t matter because we’re here for the chocolate mousse. Today, the dessert is enjoyed in a variety of forms, including with seasonal fruits, berries, etc. Eggs, chocolate, and whipped cream are combined to create a delectable beverage that is adored by people everywhere.
