COQUITO BALLS (CARIBBEAN-STYLE RUM BALLS)
"Coquito" literally means "little coconut" in Spanish, but it is also the name of a delicious Puerto Rican-style eggnog that uses rum and coconut milk. These no-bake Coquito balls are my version of rum balls made with a Caribbean flair, flavored with coconut and other spices common in the coquito drink. These are great for holiday gifting, and are best after being refrigerated overnight (the flavors meld together more as it chills).

Steps:
- Place coconut flakes in food processor and pulse until finely chopped with some chunks of coconut still visible; do not process to a powdered consistency. Transfer to a bowl and mix with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Process coconut cookies in batches in the food processor until they become fine crumbs. When all cookies have been processed, measure 5 cups crumbs and pour them into a large mixing bowl. Discard any additional crumbs or reserve for another use.
- Add remaining 1 cup powdered sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mixing bowl and mix with cookie crumbs until well combined.
- Mix together rum and sweetened condensed milk in a small measuring cup; pour slowly into the cookie crumb mixture, stirring to combine. Mix everything until well blended.
- Use your hands to form dough into about thirty-six 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll each ball in the reserved coconut-sugar mixture until well coated, lightly pressing in the coconut topping. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve or gift.

COQUITO
Coquito may translate to little coconut, but this boozy drink is big on coconut flavor. Traditionally served around Christmas, this holiday drink originated in Puerto Rico and is made with rum, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk and spices. It's delicious served very cold, with a dusting of fresh nutmeg on top.

- Give the coquito a good stir (the mixture may separate slightly as it sits). Pour into individual mugs or glasses, top with more nutmeg and serve with a cinnamon stick.
COQUITO
Coquito is a Puerto Rican version of Egg Nog. It is to die for. I experienced this for the first time last year and I can not get enough. My friend gave me the recipe and she makes it only at christmas, she fills wine bottles with it and then makes them look pretty and gives them as gifts. One taste and you will want more and more.

- In a medium size pot, combine the sweetened condensed milk and coconut. Set the pot over medium heat and cook 8-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened, being careful not to let the mixture burn. Remove from the heat and stir in the the vanilla.
- Once the coconut mixture is cool enough to handle, roll it into tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, insert a toothpick into the center of each ball. Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to cool.
- Add the honey to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes then remove from the heat. DO NOT cook the honey longer than 5 minutes or it will harden on the coconut balls. Carefully dip each ball into the honey, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back onto the parchment lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls. Alternately you can just spoon the honey over each coconut ball.
