Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major supermarkets in Harare or Bulawayo, such as Pick n Pay or OK Zimbabwe. Look for the dairy and baking aisles for your milk, eggs, and sugar. Condensed milk and heavy cream are standard items found in the canned goods section.
Preparation method
- In a small bowl, combine the chocolate powder and the 6 tablespoons of milk, stirring until you have a smooth, thick paste.
- Spread this chocolate paste evenly inside a bundt pan and place it in the freezer.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, whisk together the egg yolks, condensed milk, and the 1.5 liters of milk.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard base.
- Remove from the heat, allow it to cool down completely, and then process in a blender until smooth.
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
- Fold the heavy cream into the whipped egg whites, working gently to maintain the airy texture.
- Slowly combine the blender-processed custard with the egg white mixture, folding carefully to keep it light.
- Pour the final mixture into the prepared bundt pan that has been chilling in the freezer.
- Place the pan back in the freezer for about 6 hours, or until the ice cream is firmly set.
