Ingredients Sugar Free Coquito Recipe
Traditionally, Coquito is made with rum, coconut milk, cream of coconut (sweetened) and condensed milk.
For this version I simmer a can of unsweetened coconut milk with a sugar substitute like Lakanto Classic, spices like clove and cinnamon (you can also add ginger and nutmeg) and unsweetened coconut shreds.
I also switched to Coconut Rum instead of using the classic one. This change helps intensify the coconut flavor of the drink.
Steps
To make this Sugar Free Coquito Recipe, start by placing 1 can of coconut milk with spices, sugar substitute and shredded coconut in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and stir continuously until it thickens. Boiling it could result in the crystallization of the sugar substitute. Once the mix has thickened, remove from the heat let it cool down.
Then remove the cinnamon sticks and clove and add the rest of the coconut milk, coconut cream and rum. Blend the mix with an immersion or regular blender and transfer to a bottle.
Refrigerate until ready to drink.
