Coquito

Ingredients:

• 3 cans coconut milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 8 beaten eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dark rum

Instructions:

Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Slowly pour the coconut and sugar mix into the beaten eggs, beating with a wire whisk. Put the mix back in the pan, and stir over low heat until it thickens, but DO NOT boil and don’t let it thicken to the point that you’ve cooked the eggs or something! Strain it (please, be sure to strain!) into the serving pitcher, and finally stir in the vanilla and the rum. Chill before serving.
