Milk chocolate mint mousse

I found this recipe on chocolate mint mousse in the weekly magazine"Søndag" (issue 42/2016). As this recipe contains dark chocolate I decided to use milk chocolate instead of, as I dislike dark chocolate due to it´s bitterness. In order to boost the chocolate flavour I added  in some cocoa powder on top. This mousse has a relative soft texture, which I think could be due to the use of milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
