Submitted by Chef OG

"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."

I made it as a trial run for Christmas it is absolutely delicious!!!!! It is addictive. Some people drink it warm but I put mine in a large plastic bottle to chill and it is the best thing ever. I drink two glasses at night and sleep like a baby! I do notice that because it is cold the coconut milk has started to clump together. It's still delicious but I don't want my friends to think it has curdled.

Made this for Christmas. It is divinely good. Better than any average eggnog out there. Because the eggs are cooked, there is nothing to worry about. Instead of using the 6 egg yolks, I used 5. I also used half the amount of sweetened condensed milk and added creme of coconut to replace the other half. For the rum I used half the amount of Bacardi and the other half I used Malibu coconut rum. YUM! It's addictive!
