Coquito - Puerto Rican Eggnog

"Who says eggnog is only served at Christmas? This creamy, smooth concoction is good all year long and is as complicated as grabbing a can opener and turning on your blender."

directions

  • You’ll find that upon opening the can of cream of coconut, there is a waxy “head” that rises to the top of the can. Gently break through it with your spatula.
  • Add cream of coconut to the blender and process it for a few minutes until it is smooth, then add the condensed milk, which is thick and creamy. This helps to bind the cream of coconut so that it doesn’t separate in your coquito later on.
  • Pour in the egg substitute, the evaporated milk and the vanilla. Blend till combined.
  • Stir in the rum to taste, and finish off with a dusting of cinnamon and or nutmeg. Chill.
  • Optionally, add rum just before serving.

  1. I am puertorican and have never heard of our traditional coquito being made with Malibu rum. It is traditionally made with Bacardi rum, which is a puerto rican rum.
     
  2. This recipe came out great. I made a few changes, Bacardi white rum instead of malibu and egg nog instead of egg substitute. This was my first time making an alcoholic beverage and it was wonderful for the holiday season.
     
  3. Excellent recipe! I use Bacardi instead of Malibu though. Really good stuff.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
