Ingredients
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1.5 liters milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can condensed milk
1.5 liters milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream (drained)
Where to find ingredients
Cocoa powder, milk, sugar, and eggs are widely available in any local supermarket or neighborhood shop in Papua New Guinea. For condensed milk and heavy cream, look for them in the canned goods or baking aisle of major grocery stores; make sure to choose plain, unsweetened condensed milk for best results. If you cannot find high-quality cocoa powder, a standard drinking chocolate mix can be used as a substitute, though pure cocoa powder is preferred for an authentic rich flavor.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, whisk the chocolate drinking powder with 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth paste
- Pour this mixture into a ring tin and pop it in the freezer
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, condensed milk, and 1.5 litres of milk
- Place the pan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens
- Take it off the heat, let it cool completely, then blend in a liquidiser
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form, like a meringue
- Fold the drained thickened cream into the beaten egg whites, mixing gently so you do not knock the air out
- Combine both mixtures (the blended one and the egg white and cream mixture) and stir gently
- Pour the combined mixture into the tin you already have in the freezer
- Put it back in the freezer for about 6 hours, or until set firm
