Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets such as Countdown, New World, or PAK'nSAVE. For the heavy cream, look for 'heavy cream' or 'thickened cream' in the dairy aisle; if you cannot find it, 'double cream' is an excellent substitute for a richer texture.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth, thick paste.
- Spread this chocolate paste evenly into a ring-shaped cake tin and place it in the freezer.
- In a heavy-based saucepan, combine the egg yolks, condensed milk, and the 1.5 litres of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard base thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat, allow to cool completely, and then process in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until they reach stiff, glossy peaks.
- Gently fold the heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, being careful to maintain the airy texture.
- Combine the blended custard mixture with the egg white and cream mixture, folding them together gently.
- Pour the combined mixture into the chilled ring-shaped tin from the freezer.
- Return to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is set and firm.
