Ingredients

6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 liters milk
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 liters milk
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local markets or general food stores in Lilongwe or Blantyre. Look for dairy and baking staples in the refrigerated and shelf-stable sections. Note: condensed milk is commonly available in tins; make sure to drain the liquid (soro) from the heavy cream before using.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until a smooth, uniform paste is formed.
- Spread this mixture into a ring mold and place it in the freezer.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the egg yolks, condensed milk, and the 1.5 liters of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove from the heat, allow it to cool completely, then process it in a blender.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form, similar to a meringue.
- Fold the heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, working gently to maintain the aeration.
- Combine the blended yolk mixture with the egg white and cream mixture, stirring softly to incorporate.
- Pour this final mixture into the ring mold that has been chilling in the freezer.
- Return to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firmly set.
