My vintage kitchen : Ambrosia



You know when you craving to eat something sweet, but quite sweet? And if have childhood taste, even better?






It was exactly what happened to me yesterday. I opened the refrigerator and throw some eggs ; in half an hour I had my dessert ready to be devoured.




Ambrosia was the favorite my grandfather's dessert. I also learned to appreciate, with all its sweetness as my grandfather had.






     A delight for all those that bring you very good remembrances.



Ingredients








  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 500 ml of milk




Optional: grated lemon zest or cinnamon and cloves




    Method:

    Place water and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil until forming a thin syrup.
    Beat the eggs with a beater and mix with milk
    Put this mixture the syrup and cook over medium heat without stirring until thickened. Take care not to stick to the bottom of the pan.
    Stir and cook a few more minutes
    Leads to a compote dish and serve chilled
