Coquito

Very yummy creamy tropical coconut eggnog made with spices and white rum. It is always requested at my holiday gatherings. (And sometimes gets selfishly hidden in the fridge by the hostess.) Serve in glass cups and sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired. Feliz Navidad!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• ½ cup water
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• ½ cup white rum
• 1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and evaporated milk. Stirring constantly, cook over lightly simmering water until mixture reaches a temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 2

Transfer mixture to a blender, and add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, rum, water, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend for about 30 seconds. Pour into glass bottles and chill overnight.
