    Why we ❤️ it

    As a chocolate lover myself, nothing beats a toast with ponche and this chocolate eggnog is amazing. Join me.

    When to serve

    If it were for me, any time. However, traditionally, ponche is served during the Christmas and holiday season in our country. 

    But you don't have to wait till December to enjoy it, feel free to make this homemade eggnog and enjoy it any time of the year. It's also great as an edible gift for friends and family.

    About this recipe

    This chocolate eggnog recipe is a spinoff of our traditional ponche crema (rum eggnog), which is a mixture of dairy, spices (cinnamon sticks, and cloves), and egg yolk. For this recipe, we've switched out a few things and added cocoa powder for a creamy, chocolatey, smooth drink.

    This recipe yields about a liter of eggnog, or 4 cups, about 6 servings. You can double or triple the ingredients (same cooking time) to have extra servings.

    Salud!

    Ingredients

    • 1¼ cup condensed milk
    • 2 cup evaporated milk
    • 3 egg yolk, (lightly whisk)
    • 2 sticks of cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon clove powder, (or a sprinkle of nutmeg powder)
    • 1 cup white rum
    • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

    Instructions
     

    • Mixing egg yolks into milk
      Combining: In a large bowl, mix the condensed and evaporated milk. Stir the egg yolks into the milk mixture.
      Sieve, then discard solids. Add cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. Mix in rum.
      Add the cocoa and stir to combine as much as possible.
    • Stirring and cooking in bain-marie
      Cooking:  Boil in a large pot in a bain-marie (hot water bath) over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, lower heat and simmer for 20 more minutes. Stir often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
    • Stirring to cool
      Cooling: Add the rum and remove it from the heat. Stir constantly but slowly until it cools down to room temperature.
      Remove the cinnamon sticks.
    • Serving: Chill, then pour into a bottle for storage (in the fridge), or to serve immediately.

    Tips and Notes

    The water should have reached a gentle boil by the time you place the inner pot in the bain-marie (double boiler or hot water bath).

    What exactly am I looking for when cooking the mixture and egg yolks? How do I know when the mixture is done?

    Wondering if you have thoughts on possibility of non-alcohol version ... maybe switching out rum for dealcholized white wine?
