Ingredients
6 tbsp chocolate drink powder
6 tbsp milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 litres whole milk
8 tbsp granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained of whey)
6 tbsp milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 litres whole milk
8 tbsp granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained of whey)
Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local Canadian grocery stores. Look for the sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in the baking aisle. For the best texture, ensure your heavy cream is well-chilled before using. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can substitute the chocolate drink powder with high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder, though the original result is best achieved with the specified powder.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until a smooth, uniform paste forms.
- Spread this chocolate paste evenly into a bundt pan and place it in the freezer.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and the 1.5 litres of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat, allow it to cool completely, then process the mixture in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form, similar to a 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, folding them together gently.
- Pour the combined mixture into the prepared bundt pan, which has been chilling in the freezer.
- Return the pan to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firmly set.
