Although mousse and pudding are both delightful endings to any meal, they are not to be confused. Both mousse and pudding can be made in a sweet or savory fashion, but mousse has a much lighter texture. Mousse is made light by whipping air into it with the addition of egg whites and often some heavy cream; unlike pudding, mousse is not usually cooked.
Mousse contains raw egg whites so you should be careful to use the freshest eggs possible. Mousse is often served chilled or sometimes frozen—the most iconic mousse, chocolate mousse, is usually served chilled with a dollop of whipped cream. Pudding is often bolstered with cornstarch, gelatin, or tapioca and thickens during the cooking process. Pudding is an easy dessert to scale up for a crowd, and occasionally includes add-ins like fruit or nuts.
Both pudding and mousse can easily be made vegan or without dairy. Looking for a quick and easy dessert or savory side dish? Pudding and mousse are versatile picks that you can quickly tailor for any occasion—check out these nine recipes and get started.
