Instructions

1

Combine coconut milk

3

Cool the mixture

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
