Steps:

• Pulse almonds with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor until ground to a fine paste.

• In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, and ground almonds until thick and pale. Remove cinnamon and lemon rind and discard. Whisking constantly, slowly add the milk to the yolk mixture.
• Return mixture to pan and cook over low heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 2 hours.
• Stir in rum or aguardiente. Serve.

ROMPOPE (MEXICAN EGGNOG)

• Combine milk, sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Continue to boil mixture, stirring constantly, until milk has reduced by a little more than 1/3, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Mix in a little of the warm milk. Pour egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Stir constantly and scrape bottom and sides of saucepan until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, fish out cinnamon sticks, and cool to lukewarm.

ROMPOPE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, allspice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure the milk doesn't boil over, until the mixture is slightly reduced and the flavors come together, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks by hand in a large stainless steel or heatproof bowl until well combined. Slowly pour in the milk mixture, whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, immediately add the rum or brandy and stir to combine.
• Remove the pan from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and allspice berries and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.

THREE MILK CAKE WITH ROMPOPE

Steps:

• For rompope syrup:
• Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Pour half of liquid into heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and boil gently until mixture is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, stirring frequently, about 17 minutes. Whisk in remaining half of liquid. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm just until lukewarm before using.)
• For cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 8-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; butter and flour parchment. Whisk eggs and sugar to blend in large bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Using electric mixer, beat mixture constantly until thick, pale yellow, and tripled in volume, about 9 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Continue to beat mixture until cool, about 6 minutes. Sift flour over egg mixture in 3 additions, gently folding in each addition. Transfer 1 cup batter to small bowl; fold in melted butter in 3 additions. Gently fold into batter in large bowl, being careful not to deflate batter. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
• Bake cake until top is deep golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes. Turn cake out onto deep platter at least 2 inches larger than cake. Remove parchment paper. Using wooden skewer, pierce cake all over top, spacing piercings 1/2 inch apart and pressing skewer down to bottom of cake.
• Gradually pour half of lukewarm rompope syrup over top of hot cake, spreading over cake with spatula and allowing rompope syrup to soak into cake before adding more. Invert cake onto another large deep platter. Pierce cake all over top, spacing piercings 1/2 inch apart and pressing skewer down to bottom of cake. Gradually pour remaining rompope syrup over cake, spreading with spatula and allowing syrup to soak in before adding more. Let cake stand at room temperature until cooled completely, about 2 hours, occasionally spooning up any rompope syrup that collects on bottom of platter and drizzling syrup over cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• For frosting:
• Using electric mixer, beat cream and sugar in large bowl until peaks form. Spread frosting over cake. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Garnish with halved berries and mint, if desired. Serve with sliced berries.

PALETAS DE ROMPOPE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
• Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a bowl large enough to accommodate the milk mixture. Once the milk mixture begins to boil, slowly pour the warm liquid into the yolks while whisking continuously. Pour the mixture back into the pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Add the cream and stir until well incorporated. Stir in the liquor and vanilla. Let cool over an ice bath, stirring occasionally, then refrigerate for a few hours.
• If using conventional molds, divide the mixture among the molds, snap on the lid, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours. If using glasses or other unconventional molds, freeze until the pops are beginning to set (1 1/2 to 2 hours), then insert the sticks and freeze until solid, 4 to 5 hours. If using an instant ice pop maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
