Advocaat of the Devil

f

Ingredients:

  • 10 egg yolks
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar (250 g)
  • 1 1/2 cups brandy, or cognac (350 ml)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Beat the egg yolks, salt and sugar until thickened. Slowly trickle in the brandy, while still beating. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and warm over a low heat, continuously whisking. It is important to be patient here. If it boils, the alcohol will evaporate. The Advocaat is ready when it coats the back of a spoon. Now remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk through the vanilla extract. Serve Advocaat in a wide brimmed cocktail glass, with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.TIPS:

Fold some whipped cream through the Advocaat to create a decadent dessert called Tokkelroom.
