Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun phrase where the modifier 'chocolate' specifies the flavor/material of the head noun 'mousse', so the overall meaning (a mousse made with chocolate) is directly derivable from the constituents. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows ordinary noun + modifier semantics, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Chocolate mousse comes from the French word mousse, which means 'foam'. Because the dessert is light and airy like foam, the name now means a rich, smooth chocolate dessert.
