Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients in local supermarkets, typically in the baking supplies and dairy aisles. Look for canned condensed milk and shelf-stable cream in the pantry section, and fresh eggs in the refrigerated cases.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, chocolate powder, and egg yolks, cooking over low heat while stirring constantly until thickened
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely before proceeding
- Add the drained heavy cream, stiffly beaten egg whites, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts, folding everything in gently
- Transfer the mousse to a serving dish or individual bowls and refrigerate for a few hours until it reaches the ideal consistency
Observations
This chocolate mousse is a classic in Brazilian homes. With a smooth texture that combines the richness 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 canned cream to ensure the consistency becomes firm after chilling.
