Advocaat
Indulge in the creamy decadence of homemade advocaat, a classic Dutch liqueur that's perfect for sipping or adding a delightful touch to desserts and festive cocktails. This rich and velvety drink is crafted by blending smooth egg yolks, sweet condensed milk, and fragrant vanilla extract with a generous splash of brandy, creating a luxurious custard-like treat with a boozy kick. Gently cooked and strained for a silky finish, this traditional recipe requires minimal effort yet delivers maximum flavor. Served chilled, advocaat is a versatile delight—pour it into small glasses for an after-dinner treat, drizzle it over desserts, or mix it into a retro Snowball cocktail for a nostalgic twist.

Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 milliliters Brandy
- 200 milliliters Condensed milk
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, ensuring no white is mixed in, as this can affect the texture.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and pale.
Step 3
Place the bowl over a saucepan filled with simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the condensed milk while continuously stirring to prevent the eggs from curdling. Cook gently for 10–12 minutes until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.
Step 5
Remove the bowl from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Once cooled slightly, slowly whisk in the brandy in small increments until fully combined.
Step 7
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or jar to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Step 8
Transfer the prepared advocaat into sterilized glass bottles and seal tightly.
Step 9
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Shake well before serving.
Step 10
Serve chilled in small glasses, or use it as a topping for desserts or an ingredient in cocktails like a Snowball.
