Description

A festive twist on the classic Tembleque, our Tembleque de Coquito blends the creamy, rich texture of coconut pudding with the flavors of Puerto Rico’s beloved Coquito drink. Infused with coconut milk, spiced rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg, this holiday favorite offers a decadent and luxurious taste. Whether for a holiday celebration or a tropical treat, Tembleque de Coquito is the perfect indulgence.

Flavor
The flavor of Tembleque de Coquito is a delightful fusion of tropical coconut richness and the sweet, spiced warmth of Coquito. The coconut milk brings its signature smoothness, while the rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg add a layer of complexity and warmth, creating a comforting and festive flavor profile. It’s a rich, sweet, and creamy treat with just the right amount of spice.

Texture
Much like its classic counterpart, Tembleque de Coquito offers a velvety smooth, creamy texture that melts in your mouth. The pudding is silky, but the addition of the spiced rum and cinnamon provides a comforting depth. The consistency is perfect—light yet indulgent, and every bite feels like a warm embrace.

Origin
Tembleque de Coquito takes inspiration from Puerto Rico’s most famous holiday drink, Coquito. Coquito, often called Puerto Rican eggnog, is traditionally made with coconut milk, spices, and rum, and is an essential part of holiday celebrations. This dessert version was created to bring those same cozy, festive flavors into a pudding form, offering a new way to enjoy the essence of Coquito year-round.

A Global Sensation!
While Tembleque de Coquito is a Puerto Rican innovation, the combination of coconut, rum, and spices transcends the island. Variations of coconut-based puddings can be found throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, and the concept of mixing spirits into desserts is a tradition enjoyed worldwide. However, Tembleque de Coquito stands out by encapsulating the warmth and holiday spirit of Puerto Rican Coquito in a velvety pudding.
