Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon blanched almonds (skins removed)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons premium rum
Instructions
- In a food processor, process blanched almonds into a smooth paste.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, simmer milk, sugar, and cinnamon until the sugar dissolves and the milk is heated through. Remove from heat and let it stand for 30 minutes.
- Whisk the almond paste into the milk mixture.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until creamy, then slowly add the milk mixture, stirring continuously until fully incorporated.
- 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, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Allow the Rompope Almond Delight to cool completely. Add rum and stir before serving.
