Creamy Homemade Chocolate Sorvetão (Sorvetão de chocolate)

Ingredients

6 eggs, separated
6 tablespoons chocolate drink powder (achocolatado)
1 tin condensed milk
1 tin whole milk (using the empty condensed milk tin as a measure)
A few drops of vanilla essence
3 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tin (approx. 300g) thick cream (creme de leite), drained of excess whey

Where to find ingredients

Find these essentials at your local supermarket in the dairy, baking, and canned goods aisles. Use a standard local thick cream for the 'creme de leite' requirement, ensuring it is well-drained for the best texture.

Preparation method

  1. In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, egg yolks, chocolate powder, and a few drops of vanilla essence.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.
  3. Remove from the heat and set the chocolate custard aside to cool.
  4. Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, continuing to whisk until a glossy meringue is formed.
  6. Gently fold the thick cream into the meringue using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Fold the cooled chocolate custard into the meringue and cream mixture until well combined.
  8. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  9. Place in the freezer until the dessert is completely firm and set.
  10. Serve your Sorvetão chilled straight from the freezer.
