Coconut cream is made by pureeing 1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped fresh coconut with 1 1/4 cups light cream, then straining through cheesecloth. Combine the coconut cream, evaporated milk, egg yolks and vanilla in the jar of an electric blender, and blend at high speed for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth. Add the dark rum, medium-dark rum and Cointreau, and blend for a few seconds longer. Refrigerate the coqui for 4 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled. To serve, pour the coqui into chilled parfait or punch glasses and sprinkle the top lightly with nutmeg.

A Message from our Provider:
“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
