On April 3rd, we celebrate National Chocolate Mousse Day. The chocolate mousse is a French delicacy that achieved popularity in the 1800s. It is a light and creamy dessert that is made by mixing beaten eggs with whipped cream. Although it can be prepared as either a sweet or savory dish, on this day we focus on the chocolate mousse. Chocolate is a sweet, smooth, and creamy confection. It originated in France, where it quickly became a national favorite. The name comes from the French word "chocolat" (pronounced SHOH-koh-lah), which is derived from the Nahuatl word "xocolatl". The exact origin is not known, but we do know that chocolate was first imported to France around 1615 and was introduced to the French by Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés.

April 3rd is National Chocolate Mousse Day.

We have been unable thus far to find the creator of this national day, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
