COQUITOS
Coquitos is a Christmas tradition in Cuba and Puerto Rico much like eggnog here in the USA and elsewhere. It is like a sweet wine. It is served on the night of Noche Buena (good night) before eating Lechon Asado (roast pig), Arroz Congri(white rice and black beans - made together), Yuca con Mojo (yucca or cassava with garlic sauce), Maduros Fritos(fried ripe plantains) - leave it to the Cubans to serve three carbohydrates at one meal! Anyway, along with the meal they serve Ensalada Mixta (mixed green salad with tomatoes & radishes) and for dessert Bunuelos(fried dough pieces with syrupy syrup) and then they all go to La Misa del Gallo(mass of the rooster - Midnight Mass). Found on dollarman.com. that is the recipe.

Steps:
- Mix the coconut and condensed milk together and preferably leave overnight in the fridge. Roll your coconut mixture into separate little balls and place to one side. Now grab 2 cups of sugar and a teaspoon of red food colouring and place on a low heat until everything is melted. Roll your coconut balls in the melted sugar (caramel) and place on a plate. It helps to use a toothpick at this point as the sugar will be extremely hot, and leave each of your coated coconut balls to cool down.
