Rompope: A Classic Mexican Eggnog

Rompope is made with simple yet rich ingredients that come together to create a truly decadent experience. It has a smooth texture and a sweet, spiced flavor that is incredibly comforting. Here’s how to make it:

Milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla are combined to create a delicious Rompope.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup of rum (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
  • Ground nutmeg (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become light in color.
  3. Once the milk mixture is warm (but not boiling), slowly temper the egg yolks by adding a bit of the warm milk into the yolks while whisking. This will raise the temperature of the yolks without cooking them.
  4. Gradually pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk, stirring constantly.
  5. Cook the mixture over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Make sure to avoid boiling.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and rum (if using).
  7. Let the Rompope cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve cold, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg if desired.

This rich and creamy Rompope is bound to be a hit during your holiday celebrations. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings, and appreciate this lovely addition to your festive repertoire!
