Preparation method
- For the first layer, mix 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk.
- Add the egg yolks from the two eggs and 2 tablespoons of margarine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick cream is formed.
- Pour this cream into a glass baking dish.
- Distribute 2 chopped bonbons over the cream and place in the freezer to set.
- For the second layer, combine the second can of condensed milk with the remaining milk.
- Add the other 2 tablespoons of margarine and the chocolate drink powder.
- Bring to a heat and stir until it forms a creamy brigadeiro texture, being careful not to over-thicken.
- Spread this brigadeiro over the firm first layer in the dish.
- Distribute 2 more chopped bonbons over this layer.
- Return to the freezer for a short period to ensure the layers remain distinct.
- For the third layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the sugar and gently incorporate the heavy cream.

- Finish by decorating with the remaining 2 chopped bonbons.
- Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
