I remember how my mom made Coquito to gift to friends and family throughout my childhood. As an adult, I&#8217;ve taken my mom&#8217;s recipe to everywhere I&#8217;ve lived\u2014from Japan to Belgium. A few years ago, I had a chance to share my family&#8217;s recipe and story for Eating Well magazine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JfwtIq4abQk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I made a video in 2020<\/a> on how to make Coquito that garnered over 100k views on YouTube and Facebook. Like many home cooks who share family recipes on social media, I&#8217;ve been subjected to others nitpicking my recipes. One of the funniest comments was on Facebook from a woman named Pilar, who said I was a cheater because I used canned coconut milk. So, I decided to learn how to make Coquito with coconut milk from scratch as an experiment to see if it&#8217;s worth it. Here&#8217;s my takeaway:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"mDpzV8VOffI\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Make Coquito With Coconut Milk From Scratch\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mDpzV8VOffI?start=3&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-coconut-milk-from-scratch-for-your-coquito\">How to Make Coconut Milk from Scratch for Your Coquito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll be honest: as many times as I&#8217;ve made Coquito at home, I&#8217;ve always used canned coconut milk and cream of coconut. For this experiment of making Coquito with coconut milk from scratch, I experimented with different ways to make coconut milk. For me, cracking the coconut shell was the trickiest step. The easiest method I found was to freeze the coconut overnight, which causes the liquid to expand and create cracks in the shell. You can let the coconut thaw, or to make it less messy, I recommend hammering it until it opens. Then, use a sturdy spoon to pry the coconut meat out. Finally, peel the brown part of the coconut with a vegetable peeler. This process should take 5-10 minutes. You can find whole coconuts at African, Asian, or Latin supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the coconut flesh is ready, coarsely chop and add it to the blender. Add two cups of water and a dash of salt. Start blending slowly, especially if your blender is less powerful. Mix until the coconut is liquified&#8211;it will have a smoothie-like texture. Grab a large bowl and place a cheesecloth over the bowl. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the cheesecloth in small batches and twist and squeeze until you get all the liquid out. One coconut will yield around 2 \u00bd cups of coconut milk. I recommend making the coconut milk a day ahead to save you some time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"8830\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/coquito-1\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?fit=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 7_2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1698408508&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Coquito -1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?resize=696%2C392&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to Make Coquito with Coconut Milk from Scratch\" class=\"wp-image-8830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-1.jpg?resize=747%2C420&amp;ssl=1 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-cream-of-coconut-from-scratch\">Making Cream of Coconut from Scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most Puerto Ricans, I use Coco Lopez, a cream of coconut that&#8217;s a staple in many of our homes. I decided to make the cream of coconut from coconut milk made from scratch. It was simple to make: sugar, coconut milk, and a little patience. Mix the coconut milk and sugar over medium heat in a heavy saucepan until the sugar is dissolved and thickened. Remove from heat and let it completely cool. This can also be made a day ahead. Like canned coconut milk, it will bring all the fat to the top. Don&#8217;t worry about that&#8211;it will all go in the blender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-preparing-the-coquito\">Preparing the Coquito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you prepare the coconut milk and the cream of coconut from scratch, the following steps are the same as my classic coquito recipe or even my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diningtraveler.com\/2021\/11\/how-to-make-pistachio-coquito.html\">pistachio coquito recipe<\/a>. I don&#8217;t use powdered spices, but I steep mine in the coconut milk and let it sit for five minutes to let the flavors come together. Everybody has a unique way to prepare their Coquito, and I love to use ginger in mine. My parents did, and I love the flavor profile that it brings to the Coquito.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"8833\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/diningtraveler.com\/coquito-4\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?fit=800%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 7_2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1698417044&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Coquito -4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?fit=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?resize=696%2C392&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to Make Coquito with Coconut Milk from Scratch\" class=\"wp-image-8833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?resize=696%2C392&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/diningtraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Coquito-4.jpg?resize=747%2C420&amp;ssl=1 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-on-how-to-make-coquito-with-coconut-milk-from-scratch\">Tips on How to Make Coquito with Coconut Milk from Scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re short on time, make the coconut milk from scratch the day ahead and store it in a mason jar or another airtight container. I also suggest letting the Coquito sit overnight for the flavors to come together and have a creamier consistency. I love serving my Coquito in coupes (vintage champagne glasses) I bought at Goodwill over ten years ago for my wedding with a sprinkle of powdered cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is making Coquito with coconut milk from scratch worth it? I will be completely honest: I didn&#8217;t see a huge difference. The coconut flavor was a bit more pronounced, and it didn&#8217;t feel as sugary as the one with the processed coconut cream. However, if you only have time to open a few cans and put them in the blender, do it that way! The holiday season can be hectic, so do what you feel is best. I do have to say that banging a coconut with a hammer DID feel good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you make Coquito at home?<\/p>\n\n\n<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"position: absolute;width: 0;height:
