  • About

Rompope is the super-rich eggnog of Mexico. This recipe, which I first encountered in Guadalajara, is a simple version that can be turned into a dessert topping simply by reducing the amount of fresh milk to obtain the desired consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk
  • Same amount of fresh milk; use the can to measure
  • 6

Method

Place the condensed milk, fresh milk, and egg yolks in a blender and process for 30 seconds, or until smoothly mixed. Add the rum and process for 30 more seconds. Chill thoroughly before serving.
