Most of my American friends have never heard of this Mexican liqueur that has been produced since the turn of the century. In any household South of the Border, this is as traditional as tortillas. <br /> <br />Rompope, the way I describe it, is similar to American eggnog: it is a milk-based beverage with eggs, vanilla and rum. However, only this liqueur is available year-round. Plus, it is used not only as a beverage but also as a dessert ingredient, ice cream topping, and a flavor for gummies (my personal favorite). Although Rompope is traditionally vanilla-flavored, it can also be found in pecan, strawberry, walnut, cinnamon, and pine nut flavors. <br />This dessert is easy to make and so tasty I can guarantee you will have more than one piece. Plus, who can say no to a liqueur turned into after meal treat?
