Mousse has been a dessert integrated into gastronomy since the 19th century. King Louis XVI was even an unconditional fan of mousse which was first made in chocolate by his talented cook, the Swiss Charles Fazi. Subsequently, the term mousse will evolve in its definition as in its ingredients. Originally, the foam of the egg white was decisive, today it is more the soft texture of the cream that defines a mousse. There are various flavors of mousses, such as coconut mousse, Martinique's flagship fruit.
