Preparation method
- For the first layer, mix 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk.
- Whisk in the egg yolks from the two eggs and 2 tablespoons of margarine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick cream forms.
- Pour this cream base into a serving dish.
- Distribute 2 chopped candies over the cream and place in the freezer to set.
- For the second layer, combine the second can of condensed milk with the remaining milk.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine and the chocolate powder.
- Cook over heat, stirring until it reaches a creamy brigadeiro consistency without thickening too much.
- Spread this brigadeiro mixture over the first firm layer in the dish.
- Distribute another 2 chopped candies over this layer.
- Return to the freezer for a short period to ensure the layers remain separate.
- For the third layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the sugar and gently incorporate the table cream.
- Spread this topping over the previous layers.
- Finish by decorating with the remaining 2 chopped candies.
- Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
