Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in the dairy, baking, and produce aisles of local supermarkets. If preferred, heavy cream may be used as a substitute for table cream, though table cream is traditional for this specific texture.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, chocolate powder, and egg yolks, cooking over low heat and stirring constantly until thickened
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely before proceeding
- Add the drained table cream, egg whites beaten to stiff peaks, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts, folding gently to combine
- Transfer the mousse into a serving dish or individual glasses and refrigerate for a few hours until it reaches the ideal consistency
Observations
This chocolate mousse is a staple in Brazilian households. With a velvety texture that combines the creaminess of condensed milk with the crunch of walnuts, it is the perfect choice for those seeking a comforting dessert. Pro tip: remember to drain the whey from the table cream to ensure the consistency remains firm after chilling.
