Where to find ingredients
Find fresh eggs, milk, and canned goods in local supermarkets or small village shops in Vanuatu. Look for the 'creme de leite' equivalent—heavy cream—in the dairy aisle; ensure you drain any liquid before using. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the tinned goods section.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder drink mix with 6 tablespoons of milk until you have a smooth, uniform paste.
- Spread this cocoa mixture inside a bundt pan and place it into 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 slightly.
- Remove from heat, allow it to cool down completely, then process in a blender.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until they form firm, stiff peaks.
- Fold in the drained heavy cream to the egg whites, stirring gently to maintain the aeration.
- Combine the blended yolk mixture with the egg white and cream mixture, folding them together gently.
- Pour the combined mixture into the chilled bundt pan straight from the freezer.
- Return to the freezer for about 6 hours, or until the ice cream is set and firm.
