Mousse is a light, airy dessert made by whipping ingredients so that lots of tiny air bubbles get trapped inside. This gives it a soft, fluffy, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Mostly seen as a dessert, it is sometimes prepared and served as a savory dish. In Lychee Mousse, canned lychees are used as the main ingredient.
