In a bowl, whisk to combine the condensed milk, coconut milk and evaporated milk.
Add the rum, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, star anise and lime zest. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours before serving (or refrigerated overnight, if your space is warm). Strain and discard solids.
Serve at room temperature with a few ice cubes (no less than three ice cubes) or chilled, in a rocks glass or other short, wide glass. The mixture can be kept, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 month.

This sparks a wonderful memory. Back in the 80s my Haitian roommate introduced me to cremas. Somehow I tracked down a recipe and made it for my Tennessee family. It was a huge hit. I guess now is a good time to revive it.
Love it! So delicious.
I was looking for something “eggnog-ish” (creamy, sweet, thick and boozy) that was quick and easy to make. I followed the recipe except I used only 1 can of condensed milk and a whole can of coconut milk, and omitted lime zest because I didn’t have any (I will infuse and strain later when I get some). Anyhoo, I cannot imagine using 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk because holy moly, this is sweet! But it’s definitely a keeper. Can’t wait to add it to my coffee!
Made this for this Christmas Eve and everyone loved it. Much easier that eggnog and not as cloying. Used only one can of condensed milk since that is what I had and it was as sweet as we wanted.
This coquito without the coco lopez. Coquito is an egg free drink. Those adding eggs are copying eggnog.
Hi! What is the purpose of the evaporated milk? What does it add to drink? Thanks!

Wondering if this will work with all evaporated milk (it's what I have on hand), in place of sweetened condensed, maybe adding extra sugar as needed.
I found my old recipe. It had milk and separated eggs in place of sweetened condensed milk. I suspect you'd need a thickening agent if you forgo the sweetened condensed milk

Skip the coconut for crema de vie...so much better.
