Inspired by traditional Mexican flavors, this eggnog pairs bittersweet chocolate with just a pinch of spicy chile. The drink can be made a day in advance. Use the time right before serving the eggnog to make hot churros for a unique garnish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 quarts whole milk, plus more if needed
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and pod reserved
4 cinnamon sticks
12 egg yolks
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
3 ounces milk chocolate, melted
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups brandy (optional)
Whole nutmeg, for garnish
Cayenne pepper, for sprinkling
Churros

Steps:

  • Heat 2 quarts milk, the sugar, salt, vanilla seeds and pod, and cinnamon sticks in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is heated through. Remove from heat. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk yolks in a medium bowl until pale, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1 cup of milk mixture into yolks in a slow, steady stream. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining milk mixture. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture registers 180 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 6 minutes. (Do not boil.)
  • Remove pot from heat, add melted bittersweet and milk chocolates, and stir until incorporated. Discard vanilla pod and cinnamon sticks. Pour mixture into a large bowl set in ice-water bath, and let cool, stirring often.
  • Whisk cream until soft peaks form. Pour cooled eggnog into a large serving bowl, and add brandy if using. (Add more milk to eggnog if necessary to reach desired consistency.) Top with whipped cream. Grate nutmeg over top, and sprinkle sparingly with cayenne. Serve immediately with churros on the side if desired.

Tips:

  • Choosing the best milk: Use high-quality milk for your coquito to ensure a rich, creamy flavor. Whole milk or coconut milk are excellent choices.
  • Sweetening your coquito: Use sweetened condensed milk or granulated sugar to sweeten your coquito. Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Adding spices: Enhance the flavor of your coquito with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
  • Mixing the ingredients: Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less milk or water.
  • Serving your coquito: Serve your coquito chilled or over ice. You can garnish it with cinnamon sticks, nutmeg shavings, or grated coconut for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Coquito is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed during the holiday season or any time of the year.
