Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk in the baking or tinned goods aisle of major supermarkets. Fresh milk and eggs are available in the dairy and refrigerated sections of local grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add the egg yolks one by one, continuing to whisk until you achieve a light, creamy mixture.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the boiling milk in the saucepan.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer gently.
- Once the base has set and is cooked through, use a slotted spoon to cut the curd into chunks.
- Carefully turn the pieces over to ensure they cook through evenly.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl.
- Allow it to cool completely before placing it in the fridge to chill thoroughly prior to serving.
Observations
This classic dessert perfectly balances the richness of sweetened condensed milk with the lightness of eggs, resulting in a comforting delicacy that reaches its peak when served chilled.
