Ingredients
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp butter or margarine
3 tbsp cocoa powder (high-quality unsweetened cocoa)
1 tbsp butter or margarine
3 tbsp cocoa powder (high-quality unsweetened cocoa)
Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in any Indian grocery store or supermarket under various local brands. Use standard salted or unsalted butter easily found in the dairy section of your local 'kirana' store or supermarket. For cocoa powder, look for high-quality, unsweetened dark cocoa powder in the baking or beverage aisle of larger retail stores or premium gourmet outlets. Avoid using drinking chocolate mixes as they contain added sugar and milk solids, which will alter the intended texture of the dessert.
Preparation method
- Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and melt it over medium heat
- Pour in the condensed milk and sift in the cocoa powder
- Stir everything thoroughly until the cocoa is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth
- Continue stirring constantly for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture thickens and begins to leave the sides and bottom of the pan
- Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool down slightly before serving it in bowls
