I'm having a suuuuuper lazy day today (and yesterday, and well, the last 2 weeks or so). I'm almost ready to put away my holiday decorations and start cleaning out the cobwebs of 2012. Almost.
Due to my horrible Xmas food poisoning (boooo!), I didn't get a chance to have one of my favorite holiday treats, eggnog. Now that I'm back up to speed, I can handle those raw eggs like a champ!
I found this recipe for some eggnog poptails, tropical style. Think eggnog, with a bit of pina colada mixed it. YES!
Here's what you need: This will make about 10 large popsicles
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 large pasteurized egg yolk (see Note)
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup light rum
A few things to note about this recipe. I substituted 2 tablespoons of already made eggnog for the pasteurized egg yolk, because I didn't want to risk making my tummy sick again. I had about a cup of eggnog leftover that I wanted to use also, so I threw that in. These were SO soft when I pulled them out, I wonder if they would freeze without the extra nog added. I've had issues with that before with my other poptail adventures. Also, this is a coquito, so it will have a coconuty eggnog flavor. Very tropical and delicious, but I think the extra nog kept it more the eggnog flavor I was looking for, with a hint of pina colada. :)
Like eating coconut rummy eggnog ice cream on a stick.
Have a lovely weekend!

Mmm you're making want to try these... and I don't even like eggnog! haha!
ReplyDeleteThey are suuuuuuper good. But alas, they DO taste like eggnog. :)
DeleteY'know what? I have never ever tried eggnog. But, I have a whole set of ice pop molds waiting to be used. :)
ReplyDeleteWHAT!??? Girl you crazy.
DeleteOh my gosh. I would probably eat like 10 of these at once and make myself sick!
ReplyDeleteJust found you through the Totally Awesome blog hop. Loving your blog! The Rummy Eggnog pops and the Pumpkin spice fro yo sound yummy! x

Hi! Just joining the blog hop so I went by to say hello!
ReplyDeleteWell, hello Madelein!
DeleteThose pops look great. I still have some homemade eggnogg here and want to try these so badly but my freezer is broken (no!!!!) which means no frozen stuff for me at the moment, no ice cream :-( good for my plans on eating healthier, though ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just read through your previous posts and think it's so brave that you decided to quit the job that you didn't like to do things you really want to do. Good for you! I have similar plans for this year, just don't know how to do it moneywise. I'll see...
I'm on the blog hop that's how I found you btw.
those look so good. the close up shot that shows the texture, is really making me want to make these. also, condensed milk is like my favorite food in the world, haha.
ReplyDeleteI know they ended up like ice cream! Ah, sweetened condensed milk. Like really bad for you honey. ha!
DeleteThat looks delicious, and I'm not normally into tropical drinks. Somehow though it just seems yummier as a dessert and not too intimidating to make. Also hope your stomach goes back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteBTW found you through the blog hop.
Eggnog really isn't a big thing over here, but it always fascinated me as a child. Unfortunately by the time I was capable of making it myself I realised it had raw eggs in it and it kind of put me off. I've always wondered what it tastes like though. I might just have to make these so I can finally find out what all the fuss is about :)
ReplyDeleteWould it sound awkward that I don't know what eggnog tastes like but I would still try these? I don't think we even have eggnog where I am from. And I would like to try it so much. Whenever it's Christmas I see movies where they drink it and I feel as if I'm missing out an important part of Christmas *smile* Hugs and kisses
ReplyDeleteLove, Andreea!
You make me want to creative in entirely new and different ways. ALCOHOLIC ways ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! Wow, I suppose I do support the alcoholic crafty side of ladies don't I? I do admit, a LOT of my ideas have quite a bit to do with alcohol. :)
DeleteThose look amazing! and Happy new year!

I've been so badly missing our families traditional Jameson eggnog this holiday season because I sadly can't drink alcohol for awhile, but this did it. Eggnog flavored popsicles and I can't take it anymore! I'm taking the rum out these and giving it a try anyway. Thanks for the recipe and so glad to have stumbled upon your blog today!
