Ah, chocolate mousse. The distinctly decadent dessert with a thick and creamy texture and rich, chocolate flavor. It’s the kind of dessert you probably associate with fancy, fine, French dining, but with Betty by your side, it’s achievable right in your own kitchen!
The word mousse is a French term meaning “foam” or “froth,” which does a pretty good job getting the point across. It’s a fluffy yet creamy chocolate dessert that, when prepared just right, has a lightly whipped texture that melts in your mouth and adds a touch of class to the end of your meal. Chocolate mousse was first made in France. Surprisingly enough, it was originally invented by the French artist Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, a famously experimental cook who saw the savory mousses popular at the time, such as foie gras, and had the brilliant idea that they might be a lot tastier with a whole lot of chocolate instead! The ingredients are simple—eggs, cream, sugar and semisweet baking chocolate. But the secret to the best chocolate mousse recipe is in the technique. Lucky you, the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens have made that part easy.

Our easy apple crisp recipe has a deliciously rich history. It debuted in our first Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book in 1950. Known also as “Apple Crumble,” this recipe was very similar to today’s recipe, except it didn’t contain oats. It was updated for the 1956 version of the cookbook, adding oats, and is essentially the same recipe we have today.
When the autumn air turns chilly, this is the go-to apple crisp recipe for over 800 of our fans. Fresh and tender, juicy apple slices are perfectly complemented and nestled under a blanket of brown sugar, oats, butter and fall spices. It’s a simple treat that goes from casual family suppers to potlucks or even brunch.

A comfort food classic, we’ve been making our bread pudding recipe since 1950, when it first appeared in a Betty Crocker cookbook. Since then, it’s become a favorite with our fans! Over the decades, our recipe hasn’t changed much. In the beginning, we called for breadcrumbs, but changed it years ago to bread cubes, preferring the added texture the cubes provided. Other than that, our bread pudding has basically remained the same. Why mess with perfection?
A simple, cinnamon custard mixture is baked with bread cubes and raisins into a dessert casserole. The warm-from-the oven bread pudding is served in bowls with heavy whipping cream poured over the top. It’s a perfect dessert as a delicious compliment to any meal. No wonder it’s a beloved classic!
