| Ingredients |
|
| 10 |
large |
eggs |
|
| 1/2 |
teaspoon |
salt |
|
| 1 1/2 |
cups |
sugar |
|
| 3 |
tablespoons |
cognac |
|
| 1 1/2 |
teaspoon |
vanilla extract |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directions:
|
Separate the eggs and beat the yolks with the salt
and the sugar, until the mixture is thick and creamy.
Beat in the
cognac, very slowly and put the mixture into a double saucepan.
Heat gently, whisking constantly until the advocaat is warm (not
hot) and thick.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla essence.
Pour
into a jug.
Advocaat is served in a glass and eaten with a
teaspoon.
It can also be topped with whipped cream.
Advocaat is nothing like the eggnog here in America.
It is thick
and creamy—not foamy at all.
This delicious Dutch drink is actually eaten with a spoon!

The original recipe called for 2 envelopes of cream hardener.
That
stuff helps to get the cream get hard more quickly and staying so
longer.
Unfortunately I don’t know what it consists of.
