History of National Chocolate Mousse Day

Like us, we hope you have your spoons ready for National Chocolate Mousse Day. After all, you won't want to miss out on the deliciousness of chocolate for anything.

Mousse is made by whisking eggs or cream or both to a thick, bubbly consistency and then folding the ingredients together to create a delightful, light cream.

The words mousse and chocolate are of French origin, so it's not hard to believe that France is where to start looking for the beginnings of this versatile creation. Although we don't have an exact date as to when, we do know that chocolate was introduced to the French around 1615, and they fell in love.

Chocolate mousse has originated from France. It's unclear exactly when this dish was invented, but a few historical clues allow us to put together some ideas. Chocolate first came to France in 1615. Although there was chocolate in some desserts in the past, it was until the 1800s that is the birth of the latest chocolate mousse. At that time, Mousse has become an important part of the French dishes.

After the French, chocolate mousse became popular with Americans. There are various explanations for when chocolate mousse was introduced to the public in the United States. It is said that there is an advertisement of the chocolate mousse recipe on “Brooklyn Daily Eagle” for a cooking class by Miss Parloa in 1887. However, two other accounts say that the recipe was revealed by A) an exhibition in 1892 and B) “Boston Daily Globe” in the Housekeepers Column in 1892.

These different accounts dazzle us with confusion but in the end it doesn't matter because we're here for the chocolate mousse. Nowadays, desserts are enjoyed in many different ways, be it with berries, seasonal fruits ... People all over the world have loved this dessert because of its deliciousness concocted from a simple combination of eggs, chocolate and foam.
