500 ml whole milk

Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store or supermarket in Vanuatu. Look for standard condensed milk in the baking aisle or canned goods section. Fresh whole milk and eggs are widely available in the dairy and refrigerated aisles of local food markets.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk and whole milk in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form
- Add the egg yolks one by one, continuing to whisk until you have a light, smooth cream
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the simmering milk in the saucepan
- Keep the heat low to allow it to cook steadily
- Once the base is set and cooked through, use a slotted spoon to carefully cut the curdled mass into chunks
- Gently turn the pieces over so they cook through evenly
- Turn off the heat and carefully transfer the ambrosia to a serving bowl
- Allow it to cool completely, then pop it in the fridge until it is well chilled before serving
Observations
This classic dessert perfectly balances the richness of condensed milk with the lightness of eggs. It creates a comforting, velvety delicacy that is even more refreshing when served chilled.
