Crema de Vie

Cultural Context

Originating from Cuba, Crema de Vie is a beloved holiday drink often enjoyed during festive celebrations. This creamy concoction blends the richness of dairy with the warmth of rum, embodying the spirit of Cuban gatherings. While traditionally made with eggs, modern variations have emerged, allowing for non-alcoholic versions to cater to diverse preferences.

1

Start by preparing the syrup: in a saucepan, combine the water and sugar without stirring.

2

Turn on the heat and let the sugar dissolve in the water to form a syrup, which should take about 5 minutes to boil.

3

While the syrup is cooking, break the egg yolks in a bowl without beating them, just mixing to avoid lumps.

4

Once the syrup is ready, turn off the heat and let it cool down to a warm temperature.

5

To speed up cooling, you can place the saucepan in a bowl of cold water.

6

When the syrup is warm, incorporate the egg yolks and mix well to combine.

7

Add the evaporated milk to the mixture, followed by the condensed milk, stirring until fully incorporated.

8

Pour in the measured amount of white rum and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

9

Taste the mixture and adjust the rum to your preference, adding more if desired.

10

Add one ice cube to the mixture to chill it slightly without diluting it too much.

11

Transfer the mixture into a glass bottle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
