Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry staples at local supermarkets like Spar or Pick n Pay. Look for sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in the baking or long-life milk aisles. For the chocolate powder, any standard drinking chocolate brand will work well.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, the milk, the egg yolks (reserve the whites for later), the chocolate drink powder, and a few drops of vanilla.
- Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth, luscious custard.
- Remove from the heat and set the chocolate custard aside to cool.
- In a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while continuing to beat, until you achieve a glossy, firm meringue.
- Gently fold the heavy cream into the meringue using a spatula, working carefully to maintain the airiness.
- Slowly combine the cooled chocolate custard with the meringue and cream mixture, folding gently to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
- Pour the final mixture into a container suitable for freezer storage.
- Place in the freezer until the dessert is completely firm and set.
- Serve your chocolate sorvetão chilled straight from the freezer.
