Ingredients
6 tablespoons cocoa powder (or drinking chocolate powder)
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1.5 litres milk
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can chilled table cream (heavy cream alternative)
6 tablespoons milk

1.5 litres milk
8 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1 can chilled table cream (heavy cream alternative)
Where to find ingredients
Cocoa powder, sugar, and milk are staples in any Pakistani household. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the baking aisle of supermarkets like Imtiaz, Carrefour, or CSD. Table cream, often sold as 'thickened cream' or simply 'cream' in tetra packs, can be found in the dairy section; ensure it is chilled before use to get the right consistency. For the egg-based custard, any standard local farm eggs will work perfectly well.
Preparation method
- In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate drink powder with 6 tablespoons of milk until it forms a smooth paste.
- Transfer this mixture into a bundt tin and place 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.
- Remove from the heat, allow it to cool completely, and then blend in a blender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form, similar to a meringue.
- Fold the drained thick cream into the stiff egg whites, mixing gently to maintain the aeration.
- Combine both creams (the blended mixture and the egg white with cream mixture) and stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into the tin that was already in the freezer.
- Return it to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until firm.
