Notes
*To make your own coconut condensed milk: Combine 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk and 1/4 cup of sugar in a small heavy bottomed saucepan under medium high heat. Once it reaches a rapid boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking for 45-50 minutes, or until mixture is thick and caramelized. Cool before mixing with the rest of the coquito ingredients. Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
