Where to find ingredients
Cocoa powder, milk, sugar, and eggs are staples found in any local grocery shop or market across Sierra Leone. For sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream, look for them in the canned goods aisle or dairy section of major supermarkets in Freetown. If you're looking for the best texture, ensure your heavy cream is properly chilled before whipping to get the right consistency.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and 6 tablespoons of milk together until you have a smooth paste
- Spread this chocolate paste into a ring mold and pop it into the freezer
- In a saucepan, combine the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, and 1 1/2 liters of milk
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a nice custard
- Take it off the heat, let it cool down completely, then blitz it in a blender until smooth
- In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites with the sugar until you get stiff, glossy peaks
- Gently fold the chilled heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to knock out the air
- Combine the blended custard with the fluffy egg white mixture and stir everything together gently
- Pour the final ice cream base into the mold you have in the freezer
- Freeze for about 6 hours, or until it's set firm and ready to scoop
