Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
Zest of 1 lime
18 ounces evaporated milk
12 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ cups white rum
½ tsp. grated nutmeg, plus more for garnish
2 tsps. Angostura bitters

Steps:

  • Ready a large bowl or wide-mouth pitcher and fine mesh sieve.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and lime zest on medium-high speed until very frothy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low, add the evaporated and condensed milk, and mix for 2 minutes. Slowly stream in the rum, then mix for another 2 minutes. Add the nutmeg and angostura bitters and stir for 1 minute. Turn off the mixer, and strain the ponche a crema through the sieve into the pitcher or bowl.
  • Serve immediately on the rocks with a dusting of nutmeg.

Tips:

  • Use good quality rum. The better the rum, the better the ponche de creme. Look for a rum that is smooth and flavorful, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice.
  • Don't skimp on the cream. Ponche de creme is a rich and creamy drink, so don't be afraid to use plenty of cream. You can use heavy cream, whipping cream, or a combination of both.
  • Add some spices. Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves add a warm and festive flavor to ponche de creme. You can also add a touch of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
  • Chill the ponche de creme before serving. This will help it to thicken and develop its flavors. You can chill the ponche de creme for a few hours or overnight.
  • Garnish the ponche de creme with grated nutmeg or a cinnamon stick. This will add a festive touch to your drink.

Conclusion:

Ponche de creme is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a holiday party or just looking for a special treat, ponche de creme is sure to please.
