Rum Chata
To make homemade RumChata, simply blend 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1.5 cups of spiced rum, 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg until smooth, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups spiced rum (or dark rum)
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Blend: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth and the spices are fully incorporated.
- Bottle: Pour the creamy mixture into a large glass bottle or airtight jar.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. It tastes even better after 24 hours.
- Serve: Shake the bottle very well before serving, as natural separation can occur. Serve chilled, over ice, or mix it into your coffee!
Storage & Tips
- Shelf Life: Because of the dairy, keep the bottle stored in your refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 1 to 2 weeks.
- Customization: If you prefer it less sweet, you can replace the condensed milk and cream with 3 cups of half-and-half or a store-bought dairy coffee creamer mixed with a bit of simple syrup.
