Introduce the ingredients needed for Haitian Cremas.

Use white sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick or ground cinnamon, nutmeg, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, market lime, vodka, and real coconut.

Remove the brown skin from the coconut to ensure it's all white.

Grate the coconut using a cheese grater or cut it into small pieces for blending.

Blend the coconut with either coconut milk or alcohol to extract the juice, ensuring not to overload the blender.

Strain the blended coconut using cheesecloth to remove any cloudiness and sediment.

Combine the extracted coconut milk with white sugar, nutmeg, and lime skin in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved, taking care to add lime juice slowly to prevent curdling with the milk.

Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 days for the flavors to develop and the mixture to thicken.
