A favorite dessert of young and old alike, chocolate mousse is a must. Yet, is it so good for our health? 60 million consumers looked into the matter.
A recipe mastered by our grandmothers who we loved to taste with a large tablespoon when we were children, chocolate mousse is one of our little daily pleasures. And precisely, the January 2022 issue of the magazine 60 million consumers has just devoted a file on the brands of chocolate mousse distributed in supermarkets. You may have noticed it but when you are shopping and looking to buy chocolate mousse, the choice is vast. Have you got into the habit of buying La Laitière or Danette mousse? Perhaps you prefer that of Marie Morin or Michel & Augustin? Know, in any case, that the magazine sifted through 13 references to determine the most qualitative and the most greedy.
A very sweet and calorie dessert
Paying attention to the ingredients as well as the sugar content, the magazine determined that the best dark chocolate mousse was the one offered by the Bonne Maman brand. Journalists insist, however, that it is the least bad in the sense that it is the least sweet and the one containing the least additives, but it is still very high in calories. Like the 12 other brands analysed, each pot of chocolate mousse offered in supermarkets exceeds 40 kcal per pot. Also, some other mousses produced with more natural ingredients were downgraded because they were even sweeter. The solution is still to do it yourself if you have the time and the desire.
