Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at major local supermarkets. Look for fresh milk and eggs in the chilled section, and condensed milk and cocoa-based chocolate powder in the baking or shelf-stable aisles.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate powder and the 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth, thick paste.
- Spread this chocolate mixture evenly into a ring mould and place it in the freezer.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the egg yolks, condensed milk, and the 1.5 litres of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens into a custard base.
- Remove from the heat, allow it to cool completely, and then process in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold the drained cream into the beaten egg whites, being careful to maintain the volume.
- Carefully combine the blended custard with the whipped egg white mixture until incorporated.
- Pour the final mixture into the chilled mould you placed in the freezer earlier.
- Freeze for approximately 6 hours, or until set firm before serving.
