Instructions

1

Combine coconut milk

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk over medium heat. Stir until well combined.

Stir in the vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes until the spices are well incorporated.

Pro tip: Adjust spices to taste if desired.

3

Cool the mixture

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.

Pro tip: Cooling allows flavours to meld together.

4

Blend with rum

Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the light rum and blend on low speed until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the mixture is cool to prevent splattering.

5

Chill the cream

Pour the mixture into a glass bottle or jar and seal. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Pro tip: Chilling enhances the creaminess and flavour.

6

Serve

Shake well before serving. Pour over ice or use in cocktails as desired.
