Ingredients
6 large eggs, separated
6 tablespoons cocoa drink powder
1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (using the condensed milk can as a measure) whole milk
A few drops of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 can (300 ml) table cream, drained of whey
6 tablespoons cocoa drink powder
1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (using the condensed milk can as a measure) whole milk
A few drops of vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 can (300 ml) table cream, drained of whey
Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and table cream (often labeled as 'Nestlé Media Crema' or similar) in the International aisle of most Canadian grocery stores like Loblaws, Sobeys, or Metro. Cocoa drink powder is available in the breakfast cereal or baking aisles. If table cream is unavailable, a high-fat heavy whipping cream is the best substitute.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks (reserving the whites for later), cocoa 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 the custard from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat until a glossy meringue is achieved.
- Gently fold the drained table cream into the meringue using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
- Combine the cooled chocolate custard with the meringue and cream mixture, folding gently to ensure a uniform, airy consistency.
- Transfer the final mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow it to set until completely firm and frozen.
- Serve the Sorvetão chilled, straight from the freezer.
