<p>In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is hot and just begins to simmer, about 4 to 5 minutes.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the eggs until light, pale, and frothy, about 1 minute. Gradually drizzle the hot milk mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly to gently temper them and prevent curdling. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking continuously, until slightly thickened and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.</p>

<p>Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the rum, vanilla extract, bitters, nutmeg, and cloves. Blend on high until smooth, creamy, and frothy, about 1 minute. Pour the ponche crema into a glass bottle or pitcher and cover tightly. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.</p>

<p>Before serving, shake or stir the ponche crema well, as natural separation may occur during chilling. Pour into glasses filled halfway with ice. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with shredded coconut and a light dusting of nutmeg. Serve chilled and enjoy.</p> <p><strong>Holiday Gift Idea</strong><br /> Share the spirit of the season! <em>Coconut Ponche Crema</em> makes a thoughtful homemade holiday gift.
