Mousse hash is a soft hash with a light, creamy, almost whipped texture that breaks apart easily.
What is mousse hash?
Mousse hash, often sold as "La Mousse", is named for its texture. Instead of a hard slab or a dry powder, it's soft, light and creamy, almost whipped, and it breaks apart easily between the fingers. It's a style that has become a fixture on European menus.
Mousse hash vs pressed hash and dry sift
Classic pressed hash is compacted firmly into slabs or balls. Dry sift is loose powder. Mousse sits between the two: worked, but kept soft and airy. Because it's soft, it responds quickly to warmth, so it keeps best somewhere cool.
