* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

This is a delicious recipe with the egg yolks and ice cream, but I personally use 1 can cream of coconut, 1 can evap milk, 1 can sweetened cond. milk, 1 cup white rum, 1 cup brandy, 1tsp vanilla and 1 tablespoon of apple pie spice. Mine's a brown color, very good if you like the spice. Not good if you are a purist with only the coconut flavor. Good work Emeril.

There is a lot of controversy about the eggs! Well i can give my insight on that, my grandmother has been using the same recipe since 1896! Yea i know a very old recipe! All i can say is that the "original" recipe does not call for eggs! But as the years past and the American culture began to sink in, Coquito was compared a lot to Eggnog which is American and thus the 2 recipes mixed in! That's what my grandma told me, that her grandma told her and saw it happen. Some family's put eggs some don't! Personally i dont use eggs in mine. So ill share with you my recipe
