Trinidad's Ponche-de-Creme (Punch with Cream)

Most Helpful Positive Review

i usually buy the store bought kind but, homemade is much better. my husband and i visited trinidad a couple times and had this. it's excellent! thank you so much for posting this recipe. it will taste a little too sweet and thick at first. but after you chill it and add plenty of ice it taste perfect.

The recipe is okay, however, my mother (a Trini) uses (3) cans of Evaporated Milk and 1.5 cans of condensed milk. The recipe listed above can be overly sweet with the amount of condensed milk stated.

So, first of all, I'm trini and i LOOOVVE ponchecreme. So for the drink it self, 5 stars. This recipe needs some fixing however. I've been away form home, and although i made this with my mom for years at home, I could not remember the recipe. So, I called up Mom who says: use 3 cans of evaporated milk and 1 to 1 1/2 cans condensed milk depending on how sweet u like it. Also, add the rum sparingly depending on your own tastes. Finally, when beating the eggs, add the peel of one lemon (helps to cut the freshness of the raw egg). Serve with lots of ice :)
