What does chocolate mousse look like?

Dark chocolate mousse:

• Deep dark brown in color

• Slightly glossy on the surface

• Thick, fluffy, and mousse-like in texture

• Contains tiny air bubbles throughout

• May be served with a swirl of whipped cream or garnished with chocolate shavings

Milk chocolate mousse:

• Lighter brown in color compared to dark chocolate

• Still has a glossy surface but may have a more even color

• Texture is similarly thick and airy, but may be a bit less dense than dark chocolate mousse

• May be served with a whipped cream base, drizzled with caramel, or garnished with chocolate curls

White chocolate mousse:

• Cream, ivory, or beige in color

• Smooth, glossy surface without the deep color variation seen in dark or milk chocolate mousse

• Texture is typically smooth, creamy, and fluffy

• May be served with fresh berries, fruit coulis, or garnished with white chocolate shavings

It's worth noting that the appearance of chocolate mousse can also vary based on the specific recipe, preparation techniques, and the presence of additional ingredients such as flavorings (e.g. vanilla, coffee), toppings, or decorations used by the chef or home cook.
