A friend brought this delicious drink over to our house for Christmas dinner. I am already a fan of eggnog, but this recipe is even better, since it has the addition of one of my favorite things; coconut!
Here is the recipe that she shared with me:
"Coquito" (Puerto Rican Eggnog)
Ingredients:
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) cream of coconut
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup run (or more depending how fun you want it)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Combine egg yolks and evaporated milk in bowl and cook over lightly simmering water until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
- Transfer mixture to a blender and add cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, run, water, cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- Blend for about 30 seconds
- Place into a glass bottle and chill overnight
Pura Vida!
