- 1 can sweetened condensed milk ๐ฅ
- 1 can evaporated milk ๐ฅ
- 5 cups unsweetened coconut milk ๐ฅฅ
- 1 cup white rum ๐พ
Instructions:
-
Beat Egg Yolks: Start by beating the egg yolks thoroughly until they become smooth and creamy. For this step, you’ll want to use a large bowl or pot, as the mixture will expand as you add more ingredients. Strain the beaten egg yolks into the bowl or pot to remove any lumps.
-
Add Flavor: Now, it’s time to add the aromatic flavors that will transform this eggnog into a Caribbean delight. Stir in the cinnamon sticks and vanilla extract, ensuring they are well incorporated into the egg mixture. The warm, spicy notes of cinnamon combined with the sweet essence of vanilla will create a tantalizing base for your eggnog.
-
Incorporate Creaminess: Next, pour in the cream of coconut, which will add a rich and creamy texture to the eggnog. The sweet, tropical flavor of coconut will infuse each sip with a taste of the Caribbean, transporting you to sandy beaches and swaying palm trees with every sip.
-
Blend Ingredients: Once the cream of coconut has been added, it’s time to incorporate the remaining dairy components. Pour in the cans of sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, stirring well to blend all the ingredients together. These milks will add sweetness and depth to the eggnog, creating a luxurious mouthfeel that is both indulgent and satisfying.
-
Infuse with Rum: No Caribbean eggnog would be complete without a generous splash of white rum. Add the white rum to the mixture, adjusting the amount to suit your personal preference. Whether you prefer a subtle hint of rum or a bold kick, feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste buds. The rum will impart a warm, boozy flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients, adding an extra layer of complexity to the eggnog.
-
Adjust to Taste: Before chilling the eggnog, take a moment to taste the mixture and adjust the flavors as needed. You can add more cinnamon or vanilla extract to enhance the spices, or increase the amount of rum for a stronger kick. Tailor the recipe to your liking, ensuring that every sip is perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor.
-
Strain and Chill: Once you’re satisfied with the flavor profile, strain the eggnog mixture to remove any remaining solids or spices. This step will ensure that your eggnog is smooth and velvety, with a creamy consistency that is simply irresistible. Transfer the strained eggnog to a clean container and place it in the refrigerator to chill.
