Simple homemade chocolate dessert (Sorvetão de chocolate)

Ingredients

6 eggs
6 tablespoons chocolate powder drink mix
1 can condensed milk
1 measure (using the condensed milk can) whole milk
A few drops vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
1 can table cream (creme de leite), drained of excess whey

Where to find ingredients

You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets in Botswana. Look for shelf-stable canned goods in the baking aisle for condensed milk and table cream. Use standard large eggs available in the dairy section, and any quality chocolate drink powder found in the breakfast aisle.

Preparation method

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks (reserving the whites for later), chocolate powder, and a few drops of vanilla.
  2. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth, consistent cream.
  3. Remove the chocolate cream from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until a glossy meringue is achieved.
  6. Gently fold the table cream into the meringue using a spatula, employing a careful bottom-to-top motion to maintain the volume.
  7. Combine the cooled chocolate cream with the meringue and cream mixture, folding everything together gently until well incorporated.
  8. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top.
  9. Place in the freezer and chill until the mixture is completely firm and frozen through.
  10. Serve the Sorvetão de Chocolate chilled directly from the freezer for the best texture.
