Coquito ( Puerto Rican Eggnog). I like this recipe ...Traditional coquito has raw eggs. this recipe eliminates the risk of salmonella because it is cooked. The eggs give it a richer and thicker consistency.

COQUITO - TRADITIONAL RECIPE (MADE WITH EGG YOLKS)



Coquito - Traditional Recipe (Made With Egg Yolks) image

A delicious rum-infused Latino beverage enjoyed any time of year, but in particular, around the Holidays... Similar in type to egg nog, but way more delicious! This recipe comes from my husband's friend's wife, Linda. The recipe is for larger servings (party-size) so you will have to adjust for portions desired. Also, some tolerance is required as you must stir constantly over low flame as to not cook the egg yolks -- also, allow time for prep. & cooling when factoring your time, other than that, the recipe is pretty easy... those are just a few cook's notes FYI.

COQUITO

Very yummy creamy tropical coconut eggnog made with spices and white rum. It is always requested at my holiday gatherings. (And sometimes gets selfishly hidden in the fridge by the hostess.) Serve in glass cups and sprinkle with more cinnamon if desired. Feliz Navidad!

BASIC COQUITO



Basic Coquito image

For years, my family and I have been searching for a good, traditional-tasting coquito recipe. After having tried the whole egg yolk thing, simply adding ingredients to regular eggnog, and others, I found the best-tasting to be the most basic. This recipe ensures everyone at the party gets a taste, but you may want to double the recipe, because most will not settle for just a shot's worth.

COQUITO



Coquito image

Coquito, which means "little coconut" in Spanish, is an eggnog-like mixture of coconut milk, eggs, sweetened condensed milk and rum or pitorro, a sort of moonshine rum. Coconut and rum cocktails are made throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, but coquito is unique to Puerto Rico. This recipe, which is adapted from the 1975 cookbook "Puerto Rican Cookery" by Carmen Aboy Valldejuli, was created by her husband, who tended bar during the couple's holiday parties at their home in San Juan. His recipe calls for shelling and pressing fresh coconuts to make your own coconut cream, but canned coconut cream makes an excellent substitute.

Time 20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings (about 6 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large fresh coconuts or 2 (14-ounce) cans unsweetened coconut cream (see Tip)
4 egg yolks
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups Puerto Rican rum (optional), preferably white rum (darker rum will affect the color of the coquito)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Ground nutmeg, for garnish

Steps:

  • If using canned coconut cream, skip to Step 3. If using fresh coconuts, puncture one or two of the eyes of each coconut with a sharp knife or screwdriver; strain the coconut water into a bowl. Place coconuts on a stable surface, supported by a kitchen towel. Using a hammer, crack each coconut into 3 or 4 pieces. Slip a thin knife between the flesh and shell to separate it. (To make this easier, you can roast the coconut pieces on a sheet pan at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.) Discard shells. Break or chop coconut flesh into 1-inch pieces.
  • Place about 1/3 of the pieces in a blender with 1 cup strained coconut water. Blend until coconut is broken into about 1/8-inch pieces; place in a clean dish towel and squeeze over a bowl to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve coconut bits for another use. Pour 1 cup of the liquid back into the blender with another 1/3 of the coconut pieces, blend, then squeeze to extract liquid. Repeat with final 1/3 of coconut pieces. Measure out 3 1/3 cups of fresh coconut cream. (If necessary, blend another cup of coconut water with a batch of coconut bits, and squeeze again to extract more liquid from the coconut until you have 3 1/3 cups.)
  • In a large bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks. To a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of the coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Whisking the egg yolks constantly, slowly pour the hot mixture into yolks, until smooth and frothy. Stir in the rum, if using, salt, and the remaining coconut cream.
  • Strain the coquito through a fine-mesh strainer into bottles or jars. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 1 week. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Shake well, pour into glasses, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut cream for the best flavor. You can find it in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • If you don't have coconut cream, you can use a mixture of heavy cream and cream of coconut.
  • Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
  • If you want a boozy coquito, add some rum or vodka. Coconut rum is a popular choice.
  • Garnish your coquito with ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg.
  • Coquito can be served chilled or at room temperature.
  • Store leftover coquito in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Coquito is a delicious and versatile drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for parties, holidays, or just a relaxing evening at home. With its creamy texture, sweet flavor, and hints of coconut and cinnamon, coquito is sure to become a favorite in your home.
