Advocaat German Eierlikor Recipe

Ingredients for Advocaat German Eierlikor

• 6 large egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Superfine Sugar
• 1 cup (240ml) brandy
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How to Make Advocaat German Eierlikor

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and resembles a ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
2. Slowly drizzle in 1 cup (240ml) brandy while continuously whisking on low speed to prevent curdling.
3. Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly, scraping the bottom and sides to prevent scorching.
4. Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil!
5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
7. Allow the advocaat to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve chilled in a wide-brimmed cocktail glass, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. For a decadent Tokkelroom, gently fold whipped cream directly into the chilled advocaat.
9. Enjoy responsibly!
