For the beloved British holiday cocktail the Snowball, commercially bottled advocaat is the way to go. But purists will prefer to make this Dutch favorite from scratch.

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 large egg yolks
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup brandy
Seeds scraped from one vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Beat the yolks, sugar, vanilla and salt until thick.
  • Whisk in the brandy, very slowly, until well blended.
  • Transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan or double boiler. Whisk over gentle, steady heat until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. (Go slowly, or the emulsion will separate.)
  • Remove from heat, let cool, then transfer the advocaat to a clean, sealable bottle or other container. Seal, and chill in the refrigerator before serving. Some people like to let it "cure" for up to a week; in the interest of safety, I prefer to use it within two or three days.
