How to Make Coquito Traditional Recipe Made With Egg Yolks
- In a large pot, whisk together 12 large egg yolks, 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 cups whole milk, and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened (about 10-15 minutes). Do not let the mixture boil.
- Stir in 2 (13.5 oz) cans of Coco Lopez cream of coconut. Continue to stir constantly over low heat for another 15 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of dark rum (adjust to taste), 2 cinnamon sticks, and 1/2 cup of water.
- Continue to stir gently over low heat for 20 minutes, ensuring the mixture doesn't boil. The Coquito should thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. For a smoother consistency, whisk before serving.
- Strain out the cinnamon sticks before serving (optional). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal flavor.
