Ingredients
- 1 tbsp blanched almonds (skins removed)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp premium rum
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the almonds into a paste.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, simmer the milk, sugar, and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the milk is heated through. Avoid boiling. Remove from heat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Whisk the almond paste into the milk mixture.
- Beat the egg yolks until creamy, then slowly add the milk mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined.
- Return the pan to the stove and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Allow the rompope to cool completely. Add the rum and stir before serving.
