Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be found at local grocery stores in the Bahamas, such as Super Value or Quality Supermarkets. Look for heavy cream in the dairy aisle and high-quality chocolate drink mix in the breakfast or baking section. Ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled before draining the whey for best results.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate drink mix with 6 tablespoons of milk until a smooth paste forms.
- Spread this mixture into a ring mold and place it in the freezer.
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and 1 1/2 liters of whole milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat, allow it to cool completely, then blend in a food processor or blender.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form, similar to meringue.
- Gently fold the drained heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, being careful to maintain the airy texture.
- Combine the blended yolk mixture with the egg white and cream mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Pour the final mixture into the prepared ring mold already chilling in the freezer.
- Return to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until firm.
