Ingredients
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 can condensed milk
- 1 can of sweetened coconut cream (Coco Lopez or similar)
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon powder
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tbsp grated cooking chocolate
- 1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
- In a metal container combine the egg yolks with the sugar mixing with a metal spoon until the mixture is creamy and turns light yellow.
- Combine the milks, cream, salt and yolks in a blender. Add the vanilla, cinnamon powder and nutmeg and blend for 3 – 4 minutes.
- Finish by adding two cinnamon sticks, ground cinnamon, or grated chocolate. Save in glass bottles or mason jars in the fridge.
- Chilled for a day or two for flavors to incorporate well and enjoy.
- Serve in small cups and decorate with star anise, ground cinnamon or grated chocolate.
Note: You can make it without eggs/sugar mixture if you prefer. I recommend adding a cup of heavy cream to enhance the thickness of the drink. Adjust flavors by adding more sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg or other spices to taste.
