Ingredients

Scale

14 fluid ounce can sweetened condensed milk

12 fluid ounce can evaporated milk

2 - 13.5 fluid ounce cans coconut milk

2 cups cream of coconut

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon rum extract

Nutmeg, star anise, and cinnamon sticks for garnish, optional

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a blender, reserving one can of coconut milk for later.

2. Blend ingredients until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

3. Transfer coquito to a pitcher. Taste and add the additional can of coconut milk until desired taste has been reached.

4. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving (the colder the better.)

5. Pour into glasses and top with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg, cinnamon stick, and star anise, if desired, before serving.

Equipment

Notes

1. Recipe can be made vegan by swapping out sweetened condensed milk for sweetened condensed coconut milk, and swapping out the evaporated milk for non-dairy milk such as almond milk.

2. Do not mix up the cream of coconut with coconut cream. Coconut cream is not sweetened and has a very different consistency.

3. Coquito can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
