In a blender, combine the coconut cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, white rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Blend until well mixed.
In a saucepan, combine the water and white sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and you have a simple syrup. Let it cool.
