Creamy Homemade Chocolate Sorvetão (Sorvetão de chocolate)

Ingredients

6 eggs
6 tablespoons chocolate powder
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can whole milk (use the condensed milk can as a measure)
A few drops vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
1 can heavy cream (drained of whey)

Where to find ingredients

You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets in Suva or Nadi. Look for sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in the baking or dairy aisles. For the chocolate powder, any standard drinking chocolate or cocoa blend available in local stores works perfectly.

Preparation method

  1. In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks (reserve the whites), chocolate powder, and vanilla.
  2. Place the saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like cream.
  3. Remove the chocolate cream from the heat and set aside to cool.
  4. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whisk until a glossy meringue is achieved.
  6. Gently fold the heavy cream into the meringue using a spatula, working in a bottom-to-top motion to keep the mixture light.
  7. Combine the reserved chocolate cream with the meringue and heavy cream mixture, folding gently until uniform.
  8. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  9. Place in the freezer until completely set and firm.
  10. Serve the Sorvetão chilled straight from the freezer.
