This delicious Dutch drink is actually eaten with a spoon. This in not like American eggnog. This is thick and creamy and not foamy at all.

10 eggs

1/2 level tsp salt

14 ozs Cognac

1 1/2 level tsps vanilla extract

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 all the time until the advocaat is warm (not hot) and thick. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into a cup. Advocaat is served in a glass and eaten with a teaspoon. It can also be topped with whipped cream.
