Mousses

Mousses occupy a position between souffles and ordinary ice creams. They are lighter and more spongy than the latter, and have the advantage of needing no freezing before they are moulded. The mixture is first thickened over the fire like a custard, then put in the mould, and set in the refrigerator until firm enough to turn out.
