Creamy Homemade Chocolate Dessert (Sorvetão de chocolate)

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
6 tbsp drinking chocolate powder
397g condensed milk
1 tin whole milk (use empty condensed milk tin to measure)
A few drops vanilla extract
3 tbsp caster sugar
300ml double cream, chilled

Where to find ingredients

You can find condensed milk and double cream in the baking or dairy aisles of any major supermarket. For the drinking chocolate, look for high-quality cocoa-based powders in the hot beverage aisle. Fresh eggs are readily available in the egg section.

Preparation method

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks, drinking chocolate powder, and a few drops of vanilla.
  2. Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and set the chocolate custard aside to cool completely.
  4. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the caster sugar to the whites, continuing to whisk until you have a glossy, firm meringue.
  6. Gently fold the double cream into the meringue using a spatula, employing a careful bottom-to-top motion to maintain aeration.
  7. Combine the cooled chocolate custard with the meringue and cream mixture, folding gently until the colour is uniform.
  8. Pour the final mixture into a freezer-safe container or a loaf tin.
  9. Place in the freezer until the dessert is thoroughly firm and frozen through.
  10. Serve the chocolate delight chilled, straight from the freezer for the best texture.
