Family Coquito (non-alcoholic)
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 can cream of coconut
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 cups rum
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- Star anise
Instructions
- In a metal container combine the egg yolks with the sugar, mixing with a metal spoon until the mixture is creamy and turns light yellow. Combine the milks, cream, salt and yolks in a blender. Add the vanilla, cinnamon powder and nutmeg and blend for 3-4 minutes.
Finish by adding two cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon or grated chocolate. Save in glass bottles or mason jars in the fridge. Chill for a day or two. Serve in small cups and decorate with star anise, ground cinnamon or grated chocolate. Note: You can make it without eggs/sugar mixture if you prefer. I recommend adding a cup of heavy cream to enhance the thickness of the drink. Adjust flavors by adding more sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg or other spices to taste.
