OriginalUSMetric

330 ml milkType unspecified; use hot.330 g
70 g dark chocolateBroken into pieces; the author suggests using a little more if using whey protein instead of casein.
50 g powdered casein proteinPreferably vanilla-flavored. Casein is recommended because it absorbs more liquid.

Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 460 g before cooking, which is about 230 g per serving.

Steps

Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat it until steam appears; the milk should be very hot, but the source does not specify an exact temperature.
Break the dark chocolate directly into a resealable jar.
Add the powdered casein protein to the jar.
Pour the hot milk into the jar.
Close the jar with the lid and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined. If the chocolate or protein does not dissolve completely, use a milk frother or an immersion blender.
Place the jar in the refrigerator and let the mousse rest overnight.
When serving, add your preferred toppings.

Notes

The recipe specifies that casein produces a better result because it absorbs more liquid. If using whey protein, the author recommends slightly increasing the amount of chocolate. The toppings are not specified in the source. The type of milk, exact temperature, and desired final consistency are not indicated.
