In a saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, whole milk, and egg yolks until smooth.

Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat, then gently fold in the drained heavy cream.

Fold the cooled custard into the egg white mixture using gentle circular motions to preserve the airiness.

In a small saucepan, combine cocoa powder and water. Bring to a boil, stir well, and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

Line a round mold or springform pan (9-inch) with plastic wrap. Pour the cooled chocolate sauce evenly across the bottom.

Cover and freeze overnight (at least 8 hours). Unmold onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Run the mold briefly under warm water for an easy release. Top with chocolate shavings, berries, or a drizzle of caramel for extra flair.
