Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at local supermarkets or grocery stores. Condensed milk and table cream are typically found in the baking or dairy aisles. For the specific wafer bonbons, look in the confectionery section or international food aisle; if unavailable, any high-quality chocolate-covered wafer hazelnut/nut cream bonbon serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- For the first layer, mix 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk
- Add the egg yolks from the two eggs and 2 tablespoons of margarine
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick cream is formed
- Pour this cream into a glass baking dish
- Distribute 2 chopped bonbons over the cream and place in the freezer to set
- For the second layer, combine the second can of condensed milk with the remaining milk
- Add the other 2 tablespoons of margarine and the chocolate drink powder
- Cook over heat and stir until it forms a creamy brigadeiro, being careful not to let it thicken too much
- Spread this brigadeiro over the first layer once it is firm in the baking dish
- Distribute another 2 chopped bonbons over this layer
- Return to the freezer for a short period to ensure the layers remain separated
- For the third layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Incorporate the sugar and gently fold in the table cream
- Spread this topping over the previous layers
- Finish by decorating with the remaining 2 chopped bonbons
- Keep in the freezer until ready to serve
