British Ambrosia in Canada

Some puddings need a recipe, a spare afternoon and a bit of nerve. Ambrosia needs a tin opener and a spoon, which is a large part of why so many people miss it. This collection brings together the Ambrosia range that British cupboards have relied on for years: Devon Custard, Creamy Rice Pudding, Traditional Rice Pudding with Sultanas, Chocolate Custard, Strawberry Devon Custard, Tapioca and Macaroni Pudding. Whether you grew up eating it warm on a Sunday or you are curious why anyone would put macaroni in a pudding, these are the tins that make the British dessert shelf easy to bring home, shipped from Canada by The Great British Shop.

Devon Custard and the rest of the custard crowd

Ambrosia Devon Custard is the one most people come looking for first, and for good reason. It goes over crumble, sponge, stewed fruit or a slice of something from the freezer, and it is just as reasonable straight from the bowl when nobody is watching. If plain vanilla feels too sensible, there is Chocolate Custard and Devon Custard Strawberry too, both happy to stand in for a proper pudding on a weeknight when the effort has already been used up elsewhere.

Rice pudding, tapioca and the old-school favourites

Then come the milk puddings, which have a loyal following and very little interest in trends. The Creamy Rice Pudding is the familiar comfort tin, while the Traditional Rice Pudding with Sultanas adds a bit of fruit for those who like their rice pudding with something to find. Ambrosia Tapioca and Macaroni Pudding are the ones that tend to start conversations, usually between someone who loves them and someone who has never tried them. Both are well worth a go, with a spoonful of jam on top if you were raised that way.

Ambrosia custard and puddings shipped across Canada

We ship across the country, so these tins can make their way to Halifax and Dartmouth, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, Moncton, Saint John and St. John’s without a long search through supermarket aisles that never quite stock the right one. Ambrosia sits nicely in a bigger order alongside biscuits, chocolate and crisps, and a few spare tins in the cupboard have a way of turning an ordinary evening into a pudding evening.
