    I had in Mexico Rompope Icecream to die for! Thank you for the recipe. This gave me the idea to try and turn it into icecream if I add lots of whipped cream to it. I'll let you know how it turns - hopefully at least half as good as the one I had in Mexico City (DF). I tried to reproduce it when I got home, now I know that I have missed adding the almonds!
