Where to find ingredients
You can find most ingredients at standard supermarkets and local grocery stores. For the wafer bonbons, look in the international food aisle of larger retailers or specialty shops focusing on Latin American products; as a substitute, premium chocolate-covered hazelnut pralines may be used.
Preparation method
- For the first layer, mix 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk.
- Add the yolks of the two eggs and 2 tablespoons of margarine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick cream is obtained.
- Pour this cream into a glass baking dish.
- Distribute 2 chopped bonbons over the cream and place in the freezer to set.
- For the second layer, combine the second can of condensed milk with the remaining milk.
- Add the other 2 tablespoons of margarine and the cocoa-based drink powder.
- Cook over heat and stir until it forms a creamy brigadeiro, being careful not to let it thicken too much.
- Spread this brigadeiro over the first layer, which should be firm in the baking dish.
- Distribute 2 more chopped bonbons over this layer.
- Return to the freezer for a short time to ensure the layers remain separated.
- For the third layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the sugar and, delicately, add the table cream.
- Spread this topping over the previous layers.
- Finish by decorating with the 2 remaining chopped bonbons.
- Place in the freezer until the moment of serving.
Observations
This dessert is composed of three distinct, harmonious layers, making it an excellent choice for special gatherings. The key to achieving a perfect presentation is to allow adequate cooling time between each layer, ensuring the structure is well-defined and stable.
