Where to find ingredients
All ingredients can be found in standard supermarkets. As a substitute for Brazilian-style 'achocolatado', you may use unsweetened cocoa powder adjusted with extra sugar, though the original product provides the signature texture and sweetness profile.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, mix the condensed milk, liquid milk, egg yolks (reserve the egg whites), chocolate powder, and a few drops of vanilla.
- Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a cream.
- Remove from the heat and set the chocolate cream aside.
- In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar to the whipped egg whites, continuing to beat until you obtain a glossy meringue.
- Without using the mixer, gently fold the heavy cream into the meringue using upward motions.
- Combine the reserved chocolate cream with the egg white and cream mixture, folding gently until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a container suitable for freezing.
- Place in the freezer until completely firm and frozen.
- Serve the chocolate ice cream cake chilled.
