Delicious!
My father grew up in Puerto Rico and we use this recipe every year. We make bottles for family members as presents and everybody loves it! The ice cream adds a good twist. Would recommend.
It’s not like original puertorrican coquito, but the taste is good ,a pinch of difference for the guests , good impression.
Original Puerto Rican Coquito doesnt contain ice cream. @cardamonmom I make it just like you.
This is a delicious recipe with the egg yolks and ice cream, but I personally use 1 can cream of coconut, 1 can evap milk, 1 can sweetened cond. milk, 1 cup white rum, 1 cup brandy, 1tsp vanilla and 1 tablespoon of apple pie spice. Mine’s a brown color, very good if you like the spice. Not good if you are a purist with only the coconut flavor. Good work Emeril.
There is a lot of controversy about the eggs! Well i can give my insight on that, my grandmother has been using the same recipe since 1896! Yea i know a very old recipe! All i can say is that the “original” recipe does not call for eggs! But as the years past and the American culture began to sink in, Coquito was compared a lot to Eggnog which is American and thus the 2 recipes mixed in! That’s what my grandma told me, that her grandma told her and saw it happen. Some family’s put eggs some don’t! Personally i dont use eggs in mine. So ill share with you my recipe
Hi we are from Caguas and Las Piedras, PR.
We use a similar recipe, but instead of vanilla ice cream, we use coconut ice cream… mmmm…
Thank you for sharing your recipe!!! Christmas are around the corner. Parranda, pasteles, coquito y fiestas

I am from Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and this is the best “Coquito” I have ever made! Simply delicious! Helen
I’m Puerto Rican so I love this especially during Christmas time, but we don’t put in the eggs or ice cream.
If you are planning on using eggs in the recipe, I would recommend using pasteurized eggs. They are safe and eliminate the risk of salmonella. I have been using them for years from my eggnog recipes to my eggs for breakfast. I believe they taste great and you won’t have to worry about recalls.
