How to Make Traditional Coquito With Eggs Cooked

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and 2 cinnamon sticks to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup (about 15-20 minutes).
  3. Remove cinnamon sticks and set the reduced liquid aside to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a 3-quart saucepan, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk until light and well combined.
  5. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-12 minutes). Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. Once the cinnamon-infused liquid and the egg yolk mixture have cooled, gently stir in 1 (13.5-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk until well combined.
  7. In a large serving bowl, combine the coconut mixture, the cooked egg yolk mixture, and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup of dark rum (optional).
  9. Cover and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
