Where to find ingredients
You will find all these staples in the dairy, baking, and pantry aisles of your local supermarket. For the 'leite condensado' and 'creme de leite', check the international aisle or the baking section. Thickened cream is the best local alternative for a rich, smooth finish.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chocolate powder and the 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth, uniform paste.
- Spread this mixture into a ring-shaped mould and place it into the freezer.
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, the sweetened condensed milk, and the 1.5 litres of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat, allow it to cool down completely, then process the mixture in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until they hold firm peaks, similar to a meringue.
- Gently fold the thickened cream into the stiff egg whites, being careful to maintain the airy texture.
- Combine the two mixtures—the blended milk base and the egg white and cream foam—stirring gently to incorporate.
- Pour the combined mixture into the chilled ring mould previously prepared in the freezer.
- Freeze for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is set and firm.
