How to make Ambrosia Compote?
Making ambrosia compote is a simple process that requires a few steps. There are different variations of the recipe, but the basic steps are as follows:- Prep the fruits: Wash all the fruits with clean water and chop them into small pieces. Remove any seeds, stem, or rind. For citrus fruits, you’ll need to remove the peel from the flesh, leaving the pulp.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add all the fruits, coconut, nuts, spices, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix them well with a spoon or spatula until they are well combined. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar, based on your personal taste
- Chill the mixture: Once you’ve mixed the ingredients, cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate it for a few hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavours to meld together.
- Add the whipped cream: Once the mixture has chilled, gently fold in the whipped cream. Make sure not to overmix, as this will cause the mixture to become too liquid.
- Decorate and serve: You can choose to serve the ambrosia compote in a bowl, or use individual dessert cups. Garnish with a few nuts or fruits for added presentation.
