🛒 Ingredients

6 servings

6
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cans whole milk (use the condensed milk can to measure)
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 can (7 oz) heavy cream, drained of whey
  • 8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat as soon as it starts to simmer. Allow to cool completely.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Carefully spoon the cream mixture on top without disturbing the chocolate layer.

  8. 8

    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.
