Ingredients
Scale
5 eggs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 oz mascarpone
1/2 cup coconut cream
1 cup heavy cream
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
13.5 oz coconut milk
12 oz evaporated milk
1/2 cup rum
2 cups coconut flakes
1 tsp cinnamon
24 ladyfingers
Instructions
Separate 5 egg yolks and put them in a large bowl. Save the egg whites for later.
Whisk together 5 egg yolks and 1/4 cup powdered sugar until it’s a pale yellow color.
Add mascarpone, coconut cream, and 1/2 can of coconut milk to the egg and sugar mixture and mix.
In a separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup powdered sugar and heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
Refrigerate the cream mixture while preparing the lady fingers.
In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, remaining coconut milk, Bacardi rum, and cinnamon.
Determine the number of lady fingers needed for your pan and cut to fit if necessary.
Lightly dip the lady fingers in the coquito mixture and line the bottom of the pan.
Pour half of the cream mixture over the lady fingers and smooth it out.
Sprinkle 1 cup coconut flakes on top of the cream.
Repeat the process with another layer of soaked lady fingers and the remaining cream mixture.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top and add another cup of coconut flakes.
Allow to set in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Notes
Adjust the amount of lady fingers based on the size of your pan.
Be careful not to oversoak the lady fingers.
Use a fine mesh sieve to sprinkle cinnamon for even distribution.
