Subject: Re: Mint Eggnog -- You are awesome!
You don't know how many hours I have spent searching for this and this
certainly sounds like it. And it is quite wonderful. Thank you so much.
Do you by chance have a recipe for making coconut rum, like the brand name
Cocoribe I believe? And various other names. A great rum to have around.
Hi Brenda,
No luck on homemade coconut rum. I suppose you could make something similar
by mixing coconut flavoring with rum, but I wouldn't know how to tell you to
begin. Trial and error, I suppose....
But how about some recipes for coquito? That's Puerto Rican coconut eggnog.
Sounds yummy to me. Apparently, there are many ways it can be made, since I
found several different recipes.
Phaed
Coquito
(Coconut Rum Eggnog)
2 coconuts
3 cups of warm water
One 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 1/2 cups of white Puerto Rican rum
4 egg yolks well beaten
Cinnamon powder
Grate the coconut on the fine side of a grater onto a large plastic
or glass bowl. Or you can cut the coconut into small pieces and
process until very fine in your food processor.
Once the coconut has been grated or processed add the warm water to
the bowl and using your hand mix and pinch the coconut to get the
coconut out of the coconut pulp. Place cheesecloth over a large
plastic bowl and add one cup of the coconut mixture onto of the
cheesecloth making sure not to get any of the pulp into the bowl
and squeeze the coconut milk out of the pulp, keep repeating.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and whisk until well blended. Add
the rest of the ingredients and whisk until it is all blended. Pour
the Coquito into bottles with tops and place the bottle into your
refrigerator.
Sprinkle the bottom of cordial glasses with a bit of cinnamon powder,
pour the Coquito into the glasses and serve cold. Be sure to keep
the Coquito in the refrigerator.
Makes 6 cups
-----------------------------
Coquito
(Coconut Eggnog)
Makes 8 servings
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 Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a saucepan and scald over
medium heat.
2 Beat 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 F (71 degrees C).
The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. DO NOT
BOIL.
3 Strain the eggnog into a bowl. Stir in the rum and let cool to room
temperature. Place plastic wrap on the surface and refrigerate until
well chilled. Once chilled serve with nutmeg sprinkled on top.

Coconut Eggnog
A traditional holiday favorite gets spiked with a taste of the tropics
Ingredients:
1 quart store-bought eggnog
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup rum
2 teaspoons allspice
6 tablespoon grated coconut
Preparation:
Blend eggnog, coconut milk, rum and allspice. Top with grated coconut
and serve.
---------------------------------------
Coconut Eggnog
(Coquito - Puerto Rico)
3 C. packaged unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
1 C. hot water
1 C. sweetened condensed milk
1 C. Puerto Rican white rum
2 large egg yolks
Ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Combine coconut and hot water in a large pitcher, and let the coconut
steep for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid into a blender. Put the coconut
pulp in a cheesecloth and squeeze it to extract as much coconut milk
as possible, then add the extracted milk to the coconut milk in the
blender. Discard the coconut pulp.
Add condensed milk, rum and egg yolks to the coconut milk in the blender,
and process until the Coquito is well blended. Transfer the beverage to
the pitcher, cover, and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours.
Remove the Coquito from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.
When ready, stir it thoroughly and pour the Coquito into short glasses
and add a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg. Serves 8.
-------------------------------
Coquito (Coconut Eggnog)
Ingredients:
1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
2 cups good white rum
4 egg yolks
1 can (12 ounces) condensed milk
1 1/4 tablespoons ground nutmeg or cinnamon (1/4 tablespoon for the drink,
1 tablespoon for garnish)
Preparation:
If you are a traditionalist, you must begin by preparing coconut milk
from scratch with a whole coconut and a hammer. You've got to soak the
meat, strain it in cheesecloth, and set it aside. Otherwise you can buy
packaged coconut, soak it, and drain the pulp from the liquid. Or you
can do the easiest thing of all -- buy canned coconut milk (sorry).
You cannot prepare this recipe in advance, because it's just not a good
idea with raw eggs (salmonella threat). If you want to get a jump in
your frantic last-minute preparations, I suggest you mix up the coquito
not much more than 2 hours beforehand. Since I always end up drinking
this with people I really love, I suggest you do the same.
Mix all the ingredients in a blender, and blend at very high speed for
over a minute. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Shake well,
and serve.
Remarks:
Makes 10 to 15 servings.

Hi Brenda,
Glad you like the site.
I think what you want is "grasshopper eggnog," the first recipe below. You
might want to add a few drops of green food coloring to make it greener.
Happy Holidays!
Phaed
Grasshopper Eggnog
6 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 quart milk
2/3 cup green creme de menthe
1/3 cup white creme de cocoa
In large saucepan, beat together eggs and sugar. Gradually stir in
milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens
and just coats a metal spoon. Cool quickly by setting pan in bowl of
ice or cold water and stirring for a few minutes. Cover and refrigerate
until thoroughly chilled. Pour into bowl or pitcher. Blend in liqueurs
just before serving.
Yield: 11/2 quarts or 12 (1/2 cup) servings.

Hi Abby,
Well, I didn't find any reference to chocolate chip angel cookies made by
Mother's Cookies. I did find information about Mother's Cookies of Oakland
California, though. They were bought in 1996 from Specialty Foods Inc by
President Enterprises Corp. President Enterprises is also a cookie company,
and they already had rights to the "Mother's Cookies" name east of the
Mississippi River. It's possible that they already were selling a similar
cookie, and so they gradually discontinued the Mother's version after they bought them.
Below is a recipe that calls itself "Angel Chocolate Chip Cookies". I have
no idea if the end result is similar to the Mother's version.
