Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores in Samoa. Look for sweetened condensed milk, table cream, and chocolate drink powder in the baking or shelf-stable dairy aisles. Sonho de Valsa is a specific Brazilian candy; if unavailable, a high-quality praline-filled chocolate wafer can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- For the base layer, combine 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk in a saucepan.
- Whisk in the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of margarine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like cream.
- Pour this cream base into a serving dish.
- Sprinkle 2 chopped chocolates over the cream and place in the freezer to firm up.
- For the middle layer, mix 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, stirring until it reaches a smooth, creamy brigadeiro consistency, being careful not to let it get too thick.
- Spread this chocolate layer evenly over the first firm layer in the dish.
- Distribute another 2 chopped chocolates over this layer.
- Return to the freezer for a short while to ensure the layers remain distinct.
- For the final layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the sugar and then gently incorporate the table cream.
- Spread this fluffy topping over the previous chocolate layer.
- Finish by decorating with the final 2 chopped chocolates.
- Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
