Condensed milk and whole milk are staples available at all local supermarkets and general grocery stores in Fiji. Fresh eggs can be sourced from local markets, egg suppliers, or standard supermarket poultry aisles. No special equipment or imported items are required for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk and milk in a wide-based heavy-bottomed pot
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
- Add the egg yolks one at a time while continuing to whisk until you have a smooth, light mixture
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the simmering milk in your pot
- Reduce the heat to low and let it cook slowly
- Once the base has set and is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to carefully cut the curd into chunks
- Gently flip the pieces to ensure they cook evenly throughout
- Turn off the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Allow it to cool completely, then pop it in the fridge until it’s nice and cold before serving
