Creamy Homemade Chocolate Sorvetão (Sorvetão de chocolate)

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons chocolate drink powder (achocolatado)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can whole milk (use the empty condensed milk can as a measure)
A few drops vanilla extract
3 tablespoons sugar
1 can heavy cream, drained of whey (creme de leite)

Where to find ingredients

You can find these staples at local markets in Micronesia. For the 'creme de leite' and 'leite condensado', check the international aisle of larger grocery stores. If you cannot find 'achocolatado', high-quality cocoa powder mixed with a little extra sugar is a suitable substitute.

Preparation method

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks (reserving the whites for later), chocolate powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
  3. Remove the chocolate custard from the heat and set aside to cool.
  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 heavy cream into the meringue using a spatula, employing slow, upward motions to maintain the airy texture.
  7. Combine the cooled chocolate custard with the meringue and cream mixture, folding gently until fully incorporated.
  8. Pour the prepared mixture into a suitable freezer-safe container.
  9. Place in the freezer until the dessert is thoroughly set and frozen solid.
  10. Serve the Sorvetão well-chilled, scooped directly from the freezer.
