Growing up, recipe author Lola Dweck was encouraged to embrace both her Mexican and American heritage. When the holidays came around each year, this meant sipping on both eggnog and rompope on chilly December nights. So naturally, this flan recipe is inspired by the flavors of both beloved drinks! More from Lola:
Eggnog dates back to 13th-century Europe where medieval monks were believed to enjoy a drink a warm ale punch known as posset, with eggs and figs. It eventually became one of the variations of milk and wine punches served at social gatherings. Rompope, which has been referred to as the Mexican version of eggnog, is one of the many sweet treats believed to have been introduced to Mexico by nuns in the Santa Clara convent in Puebla.
Both drinks highlight eggs as the key ingredient, but some of the most popular rompope brands are made with alcohol and are more reminiscent of a thick, creamy liqueur. One bite of this creamy, custardy flan and you'll see that the recipe takes inspiration from both versions of the tasty holiday drink!
The rum adds a delicious spiced flavor to this flan recipe, but can be left out if desired.
