Ingredients
1 tin condensed milk
500 ml whole milk
4 eggs
500 ml whole milk
4 eggs
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk is easily found in the baking or milk aisle of any local supermarket or small dukas. For the 500 ml of milk, use standard fresh full-cream milk available at any local dairy section or grocery shop. Eggs can be sourced from local markets, farmers, or any standard supermarket, ensuring they are fresh for the best texture.
Preparation method
- Whisk the condensed milk and milk together in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan
- Place the pan over heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil
- Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks in a separate bowl
- Add the egg yolks one by one, continuing to whisk until you have a smooth, light cream
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the boiling milk in the pan
- Turn the heat down to low to let it cook steadily
- Once the base has firmed up and cooked through, use a slotted spoon to cut the mass into chunks
- Carefully turn the pieces over so they cook evenly on all sides
- Remove from the heat and transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Let it cool completely, then chill in the fridge before serving
Observations
This classic dessert perfectly balances the sweetness of condensed milk with the lightness of eggs. It creates a comforting, elegant delicacy that tastes even better when served chilled.
