Ingredients
6 tablespoons chocolate drink powder
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 liters whole milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream, drained of whey
6 tablespoons milk
4 egg yolks
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 liters whole milk
8 tablespoons sugar
4 egg whites
1 can heavy cream, drained of whey
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at local supermarkets or general grocery stores in Honiara. Look for fresh dairy in the refrigerated section and shelf-stable goods in the baking aisle. If heavy cream with whey is unavailable, standard thick cream can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the chocolate powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until a smooth paste forms.
- Spread this chocolate mixture evenly inside a bundt pan and place it in the freezer.
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, the sweetened condensed milk, and the 1 1/2 liters of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard base.
- Remove from heat, allow it to cool completely, and then blend the mixture in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Gently fold the heavy cream into the stiff egg whites, being careful to maintain the aeration.
- Combine the custard base from the blender with the egg white and cream mixture, folding them together gently.
- Pour this combined mixture into the chilled bundt pan you prepared earlier.
- Return the pan to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firmly set.
