COFFEE FLAVORED COQUITO
COQUITO + COFFEE LOVER?
If you are looking for a Coffee-flavored Coquito, I am pretty sure you are familiar with the Traditional Coquito.
In this Recipe, we will be combining the best of the two worlds, but also combining it with a very popular butter to make everything blend smoothly.
SUBSTITUTIONS
As I mentioned in my Traditional Vegan Coquito Blog, the only thing we will need to substitute for a Dairy-Free Coquito is the Condensed Milk and Evaporated Milk, which we can easily make at home.
But if you would like to make things simple, buying a dairy-free condensed and evaporated milk is always an option!
FIRST STEP TO GET DONE
If you are making your dairy-free condensed and evaporated milk at home, we will begin with those two first. They can take 30 minutes to an hour. (Usually takes me around 30 minutes!)

hoursINGREDIENTS
- CONDENSED MILK
1 Cup and Half of Dairy Free Milk (I used Oat Milk)
1/2 Cup of White Sugar or Light Brown Sugar
- EVAPORATED MILK
3 Cups of Dairy Free Milk
- COQUITO BLEND
1 Can - Coconut Milk
1 Can - Cream of Coconut
1/2 TSP - Ground Cinnamon
1/2 TSP - Nutmeg
6oz - Brewed Coffee
6-8oz of White Rum Liquor (optional)
1 Cup - Dairy-Free Coffee Ice Cream
3 TBSP - Biscoff Cookie Butter
1 TSP - Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
- CONDENSED MILK
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup and half cups of dairy-free milk with 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat over low to medium heat and allow it to simmer until it thickens. Stir occasionally. Set aside to cool.
- EVAPORATED MILK
Pour 3 cups of Dairy-Free Milk into a saucepan and simmer over low to medium heat for 25-35 minutes, or until it has reduced by half in volume. Stir occasionally. Set aside to cool.
- BLEND EVERYTHING TOGETHER
In a blender, start by adding 4oz. of Condensed Milk and 8oz of Evaporated Milk.
Incorporate 1 can of Coconut Milk and 1 can of Coconut Cream into the mixture.
Add 1 cup of Coffee-Flavored Dairy-Free Ice Cream.
Add around 6oz of Brewed Coffee (cold or room temperature preferred)
Add Biscoff Cookie Butter, vanilla extract, cinamon, and nutmeg.
Add 6-8 ounces of White Rum Liquor (optional), and adjust the amount according to your personal preference. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the liquor.
Blend all the ingredients together for 1-3 minutes, ensuring that everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Serve your Coquito in glass bottle, refrigerate at least for 2 hours before consuming.
NOTES
- The presence of alcohol in coquito can act as a preservative, extending its shelf life. However, it's essential to keep it sealed and refrigerated for safety. Alcoholic Coquito can have a shelf life of approximately 4-6 weeks in the refrigerator. Non Alcoholic have a shorter shelf life.
- Once you blend all ingredients, it may look too runny; but when you let your Coquito sit in your refrigerator it will get thicker.
- Make sure to buy Coconut Cream that has added sugar. Buying Organic Coconut Cream will change the coquito's flavor. Coco Lopez and Goya brands are usually the go-to.
- Ensure that your coffee is free of any extra flavors to avoid changing the taste of the coquito.
Enjoy Your Vegan Coffee Coquito!
