Ponche crema recipe: the sweet booze of Venezuelan Christmas.
Ponche crema is the Venezuelan eggnog (or zabaione), made with Venezuelan rum {the best one is the Santa Teresa} and with sweet condensed milk, which I can serenely affirm to be the most consumed product in Venezuela.
Make it not earlier than two days and store it in the refrigerator. Then serve it in small glasses with a few ice cubes.
