No Way Jose Cuisine

These cool sticks have different names in every region of Mexico, but in the end, every region loves them during the hot days. There are many flavors of bolis, natural and artificial flavors. The Rompope is a traditional drink in Mexico apparently invented by nuns, most of the time, it has rum. You can find this at the liquor stores in Mexico. visit my linktree to check the bolis bags in my Amazon storefront.


Bolis de Rompope (Mexican Eggnog Ice sticks)

In a pot, non-stick preferably, add the condensed, evaporated, and whole milk and mix just until everything incorporates; add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda and mix, put it on low heat, and constantly stir to avoid it sticking on the bottom of the pot; wait until the milk gets warm and start the next step. 

In a bowl, add the yolks and whisk until they look foamy and pale. 

Add the vanilla into the warm milk and pour the whisked yolks little by little while whisking; add the yellow food colorant (optional) for a bright color; put it back in the stove on low heat and keep stirring slowly and constantly; right before starts boiling, you will see it rise, and that’d be the signal to remove it from the heat. 

Strain it into a pitcher and let it cool down; if you don’t want to wait long, add ice in a big bowl, then a smaller bowl on top, and pour the Rompope, whisk, not too fast, until the Rompope cools down. 

In bolis bags (you can buy them online, I have them in my Amazon storefront in my link of bio), fill them a little over a half and tie them up; you can also seal them if you have a bag sealer, but seal them on a dry part and low heat (I also have the sealer in my storefront). 

Freeze them for at least 5 hours or overnight.
