Ingredients
6 tablespoons chocolate drink powder
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1.5 litres milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1.5 litres milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets in Gaborone or Francistown. Look for long-life or fresh dairy in the refrigerated section, and standard baking supplies for the chocolate powder and sugar. If you cannot find pre-drained heavy cream, simply set the chilled can upright in the fridge for a few hours and pour off the excess liquid before using the thick cream.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, mix the chocolate powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth paste.
- Spread this paste inside a bundt pan and place it in the freezer.
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, 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 completely, then blend the mixture in a liquidiser.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Fold the drained heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, working gently to maintain the volume.
- Combine the blended mixture with the egg white and cream base, folding them together until just incorporated.
- Pour the final mixture into the prepared chilled bundt pan.
- Return to the freezer for about 6 hours, or until the ice cream is set and firm.
