Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 milliliters Brandy
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
Instructions
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a large heatproof bowl and discard the whites (or save them for another recipe).
Add the granulated sugar to the yolks and whisk vigorously until the mixture is pale and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and pour in the brandy a little at a time, whisking continuously to incorporate it into the yolk mixture.
Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water (double boiler setup). Ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Cook the mixture gently, stirring constantly with a whisk, for 10-12 minutes, or until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not let the mixture boil to prevent the egg yolks from scrambling.
Once thickened, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream to achieve a luscious consistency, and mix until smooth.
Transfer the advocaat into a sterilized bottle or jar, seal it tightly, and refrigerate. It will thicken further as it chills.
Serve chilled in small glasses or use as a topping for desserts. Shake or stir before serving if needed.
