1 can whole milk (measured in the empty condensed milk can)
Vanilla extract to taste
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 can (approx. 300g) heavy cream, drained of whey (creme de leite)
Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local food stores and supermarkets in the Bahamas. Look for 'Creme de Leite' (often labeled as table cream) in the international or canned goods aisle. If unavailable, heavy whipping cream is a suitable substitute for the texture. Sweetened condensed milk is available in the baking aisle.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks (reserve the whites for later), chocolate drink powder, and a few drops of vanilla extract.
- Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the reserved egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until you achieve a glossy, firm meringue.
- Gently fold the heavy cream into the meringue using a spatula, working in slow, upward motions to maintain the airiness.
- Combine the cooled chocolate custard with the meringue mixture, folding them together very carefully until just incorporated.
- Pour the final mixture into a freezer-safe container or a loaf pan.
- Place in the freezer until completely set and frozen solid.
- Serve this chocolate dessert well-chilled, straight from the freezer.
