Preparation
- For the first layer, mix 1 can of condensed milk with half of the whole milk
- Add the 2 egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of margarine
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until a thick cream forms
- Pour this cream into a glass baking dish
- Chop 2 of the chocolate candies and distribute them over the cream
- Place in the freezer to firm up
- 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
- Cook over medium heat, stirring until it becomes a creamy chocolate sauce, being careful not to let it get too thick
- Spread this chocolate layer over the firm first layer in the dish
- Chop 2 more candies and distribute them over this layer
- Return to the freezer for a short period to ensure the layers remain separate
- For the third layer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form

- Spread this topping over the previous layers
- Finish by decorating with the 2 remaining chopped candies
- Keep in the freezer until ready to serve
Notes
