Miami Granny Deviled Eggs: Miami Vice Jello Shots

For a party treat that will surprise and delight your guests, be extra and serve up Midnight Rambler‘s impressive Miami Vice jello shots. “Seeing people’s reaction to the eggs is the joy of the Miami Granny,” bartender and co-creator Jennava Walker says. These are built to resemble holiday table staple, deviled eggs, with a coconut and coconut rum “egg white,” Piña Colada “egg yolk” filling, and a Strawberry Daiquiri garnish.

Ingredients

Yield:12 eggs

Egg Whites
8 oz. coconut cream and coconut milk mix
6 oz. coconut rum
2 tsp. agar agar
_______________________
Piña Colada Egg Yolk Filling
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. pineapple flavoring
yellow food coloring (about 5 drops til light orange/yellow)
_______________________
Strawberry Daiquiri Purée
2 cups strawberries
3 oz. fresh lime juice
2 oz. overproof rum
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. guar gum

Tools:pot, whisk, blender, candy making egg molds, piping bag, squeeze bottle
Garnish:lime zest

Preparation

Egg WhitesAdd 1 can of Coco López cream of coconut and 1 can of coconut milk to a blender and blend to remove chunks. (The coconut mix will keep for 7 days in the refrigerator.) Add 8 oz. of this coconut mixture to a saucepan and heat until it bubbles. Then add agar agar and whisk until combined and remove from heat. Pour the mixture and the coconut rum into a blender and blend on low for 1 minute. Pour into candy making egg molds and let it set overnight. (This can be done at room temperature, while refrigerating will speed up the process.) Use the measuring teaspoon to carefully create a cavity in the egg white for filling.
Piña Colada Egg Yolk FillingAdd all to a blender and blend until combined. Add the mixture to a piping bag.
Strawberry Daiquiri PuréeAdd all the ingredients to a blender and blend. Store in a squeeze bottle for serving. Will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days.
Assembling the EggsPlace Egg Whites on a serving tray. Gently squeeze Strawberry Daiquiri Purée into cavity (approximately 1 tsp.). Add Piña Colada Egg Yolks over the top of Strawberry Daiquiri. Top with lime zest.
