How to Make Coquitos
- In a large blender, combine 12 large egg yolks and 2 (14-ounce) cans of sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of cream of coconut, 1 cup of white rum (or more to taste), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Blend until well combined.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any egg strings or lumps.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
- Before serving, give the Coquito a good stir. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few toasted coconut flakes (optional). Enjoy responsibly!
