Coquito (Puerto Rican Egg Nog)

Ingredients

• •4 cups coconut milk
• •6 tablespoons white sugar
• •8 egg yolks
• •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• •8 tablespoons dark rum
• •1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

1. 1Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan and scald over medium heat.
2. 2Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla. Beat in 1/2 cup of the scalded mixture into the egg yolks. Then whisk all the egg yolk mixture into the scalded mixture. Stirring mixture constantly, cook over low heat until mixture reaches a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
