Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk is widely available in all UK supermarkets in the baking aisle. Whole milk can be found in the refrigerated dairy section. For eggs, opt for free-range large eggs, which are standard in any British grocer. No special ingredients are required; everything for this recipe is easily sourced from your local high street supermarket or corner shop.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk and whole milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
- Gradually beat in the egg yolks one by one until you have a smooth, light cream
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the simmering milk in the pan
- Turn the heat down to low and let it cook steadily
- Once the base is set and cooked through, use a slotted spoon to carefully cut the curd into chunks
- Gently turn the pieces over to ensure they cook evenly on all sides
- Remove from the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Leave to cool completely and pop it in the fridge until chilled before serving
Observations
This classic pud brings together the rich sweetness of condensed milk and the lightness of eggs, resulting in a comforting treat that's even better when served thoroughly chilled.
