About Ambrosía
This Uruguayan ambrosia comes from a rural teacher's recipe shared by verodelbonog in Florida. The author's account places it among country preparations that make use of ingredients available from farm life.
Milk, eggs and sugar form the entire published ingredient list. Their combination becomes a rich sweet as it cooks, gradually developing a colour the author compares with dulce de leche.
The finished preparation is thick and lumpy rather than smooth. Its small curds give the milk-and-egg dessert a softly granular texture.
