Crème de Vié

Creme de vie

Crème de Vié

This Cuban version of eggnog is rich and sweet.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 pasteurized egg yolks
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1½ cups light rum (or as desired)
  • Cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over medium low heat until syrup comes to a boil and the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks. Add milks and whisk. Add light rum (less if you prefer a less-alcoholic version). Whisk in cooled sugar syrup. Strain, then pour into bottles. Store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled in small glasses. Dust with cinnamon.

Notes

Makes about 32 oz., depending on how much rum you use.
