Where to find ingredients
Ingredients are readily available at any major local supermarket. Look for high-quality cocoa-based chocolate drink powder in the baking aisle and fresh, unsalted walnuts in the nuts and dried fruit section. If necessary, you may use double cream as a substitute for the Brazilian style canned cream.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, mix the condensed milk, whole milk, chocolate drink powder, and egg yolks, cooking over low heat and stirring constantly until thickened
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely before continuing
- Add the drained heavy cream, the egg whites beaten to stiff peaks, the vanilla extract, and the chopped walnuts, mixing gently
- Transfer the mousse to a serving dish or individual bowls and refrigerate for several hours until it reaches the ideal consistency
Observations
This chocolate mousse is a classic in Brazilian households. With a smooth texture that combines the creaminess of condensed milk with the crunch of walnuts, it is the perfect choice for those seeking a comforting dessert. A golden tip: remember to remove the whey from the canned cream to ensure the consistency stays firm after chilling.
