Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk with the cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt until it just simmers, without boiling.
- Remove from the heat, cover and leave to infuse for 10 minutes, then take out the cinnamon.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a little of the warm infusion to temper them, then pour everything back into the pan.
- Return to very low heat and stir constantly for 5 minutes until the cream coats the spoon.
- Off the heat, add the condensed milk, cream of coconut, vanilla and rum, then mix well.
- Pour into clean bottles, let cool, then keep in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Serve chilled, dusted with cinnamon.
Variations and tips
Alcohol-free version. Replace the rum with 100 ml of extra coconut milk and a teaspoon of vanilla for a drink the whole family can enjoy.
