Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at local supermarkets, specialty baking stores, or wet markets. Table cream (creme de leite) can be found in the canned goods aisle. As a substitute for table cream, you may use heavy cream with a lower fat content, though the original texture relies on the standard Brazilian table cream.
Preparation method
- Separate the yolks from the whites
- In a cold saucepan, combine the milk and the egg yolks passed through a sieve
- Add the chocolate powder and the condensed milk
- Place over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously until a thick cream is obtained
- Remove the pan from the heat
- Incorporate the ground walnuts and the table cream
- Add the previously dissolved unflavored gelatin
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites until a homogeneous mixture is formed
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish
- Place in the freezer for approximately 2 hours until it reaches a mousse consistency
- Monitor to prevent the contents from freezing completely
- Decorate the surface with whole walnuts before serving
- Keep the dessert in the refrigerator after it has been served for the first time
Observations
A practical and elegant dessert, ideal for serving after meals. The secret lies in delicately folding in the beaten egg whites to ensure the dessert's lightness.
