Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like condensed milk, table cream, and standard pantry staples are readily available at major supermarkets in Namibia. For the Sonho de Valsa bonbons, look in the international or 'imported sweets' section of larger shopping centres. If you cannot find this specific Brazilian brand, look for high-quality wafer-based chocolates filled with nut cream as a substitute, though using the original is best for the authentic flavour.
Preparation method
- To begin the first layer, whisk together 1 can of condensed milk with half the milk in a saucepan
- Stir in the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of margarine
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a rich cream
- Pour the cream into a glass serving dish
- Sprinkle 2 chopped bonbons over the layer and pop it into the freezer to set
- For the second layer, combine the second can of condensed milk with the remaining milk
- Mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine and the chocolate drink powder
- Cook over the heat, stirring until you have a creamy brigadeiro, being careful not to let it get too thick
- Spread the brigadeiro over the first, now-set layer in the dish
- Top this layer with 2 more chopped bonbons
- Return to the freezer for a short while to ensure the layers stay distinct
- For the final layer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Gently fold in the sugar and then the table cream
- Spread this fluffy topping over the chilled layers
- Finish by garnishing with the remaining 2 chopped bonbons
- Chill in the freezer until you are ready to serve
Observations
