Preparation Steps
- Begin by separating the egg yolks into a mixing bowl. Whisk the yolks together with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar for about 3-4 minutes until creamy.
- Add the mascarpone cheese, coconut cream, and half of the coconut milk to the egg yolk mixture and blend until smooth.
- In a clean bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with the remaining powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the remaining coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, rum, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl, whisking until blended.
- Dip the ladyfingers one by one into the Coquito mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy, then layer them at the bottom of your dish.
- Pour half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, spread evenly, and sprinkle with 1 cup of coconut flakes. Repeat layers.
- Top the final layer with remaining coconut flakes and dust lightly with cinnamon before covering.
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours to allow flavors to meld.
