Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and milk can be found in any local grocery shop or market. Fresh eggs are readily available at local produce stalls or markets.
Preparation method
- Mix the condensed milk and milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan
- Bring the mixture to the boil
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
- Add the egg yolks one by one while continuing to whisk until a light cream is formed
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the boiling milk in the pan
- Maintain cooking over a low heat
- Once the base is set and cooked, use a slotted spoon to cut the mixture into chunks
- Carefully turn the pieces over so they cook evenly
- Turn off the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving dish
- Allow it to cool completely and chill in the fridge before serving
Observations
This classic dessert balances the richness of condensed milk with the lightness of eggs, creating a comforting treat that is even better when served thoroughly chilled.
