6 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 can condensed milk
1 can measure of liquid milk

3 tablespoons sugar
1 can heavy cream, drained
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 can condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk, liquid milk, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and heavy cream can be found in the dairy and baking aisles of most supermarkets. Drained heavy cream can be achieved by pouring heavy cream into a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth over a bowl and letting it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours to drain the whey. If you can't find drained heavy cream, use cream cheese as a substitute for a similar texture.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, mix the condensed milk, liquid milk, egg yolks (reserve the whites), cocoa powder, and a few drops of vanilla
- Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, forming a cream
- Remove from heat and set the chocolate cream aside
- In a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Gradually add the sugar to the stiff egg whites, continuing to beat until a meringue is formed
- Without beating, gently fold the heavy cream into the meringue using a spatula, with bottom-to-top movements
- Combine the reserved chocolate cream with the egg white and heavy cream mixture, stirring gently to incorporate
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container
- Place in the freezer until completely firm and frozen
- Serve the chocolate icebox cake well chilled
