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
- 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.
- Slowly drizzle in 1 cup (240ml) brandy while continuously whisking on low speed to prevent curdling.
- Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly, scraping the bottom and sides to prevent scorching.
- Cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil!
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Allow the advocaat to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- 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.
- Enjoy responsibly!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
