Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
500 ml whole milk
4 large eggs
500 ml whole milk
4 large eggs
Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at any standard grocery store. Sweetened condensed milk is typically located in the baking aisle or sometimes in the ethnic/international foods section. Whole milk and large eggs are standard refrigerated items found in the dairy aisle.
Preparation method
- Whisk the condensed milk and whole milk together in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil
- Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form
- Add the yolks one by one, continuing to beat until you have a smooth, light mixture
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the boiling milk in the saucepan
- Lower the heat and let it simmer slowly
- Once the base has set and firmed up, use a slotted spoon to carefully cut the curd into chunks
- Gently flip the pieces to ensure they cook evenly through
- Remove from the heat and carefully transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Allow it to cool completely, then chill in the fridge before serving
Observations
This traditional dessert strikes a perfect balance between the richness of sweetened condensed milk and the lightness of eggs, resulting in a comforting delicacy that is even better when served chilled.
