Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets like FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Sheng Siong. As a substitute for Brazilian-style cream, you may use thickened cream or heavy cream with the whey drained off.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, mix the chocolate drink powder with the 6 tablespoons of milk until you form a smooth, homogeneous paste.
- Spread this mixture into a ring mold and place it in the freezer.
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and 1.5 liters of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat, allow it to cool completely, and then blend until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the sugar until you achieve stiff peaks, similar to a meringue.
- Fold the drained cream into the whipped egg whites, mixing delicately to maintain the airiness.
- Combine both cream bases—the blended mixture and the whipped egg white mixture—and stir gently until fully incorporated.
- Pour the combined mixture into the ring mold that has been chilling in the freezer.
- Return the mold to the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
