Where to find ingredients

- In the mixer, combine the egg yolks, cocoa powder, milk and sugar
- Beat all the ingredients well until you have a smooth mixture
- Transfer the mixer mixture to low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly
- Dissolve the packets of unflavoured gelatin according to the package instructions

- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mixture, stirring from bottom to top so as not to lose the air
