A Belizean Christmas is not complete without the traditional rumpopo drink. Similar to the USA’s eggnog, this creamy rum drink is a favorite among family and friends during this festive time of year. Every Belizean knows that this festive drink is accompanied by a slice of the traditional Black Dried-fruit Cake. If you have always wondered how to make this concoction, here is a step by step guide for making this Christmas recipe!
WHAT YOU NEED
4 large tins evaporated milk
1 ½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 pint strong rum (add more or less to taste)
12 egg yolks
