Kirstie Allsopp's Handmade Christmas advocaat recipe?

[MercyChant66]

I'd be very grateful if anyone can remember the recipe for the easy advocaat that featured on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas a few years ago - it's no longer available online. It was made with eggs, condensed milk, vanilla and vodka but I can't remember the amounts - thank you. My Christmas will be much less merry without it!

I've got the handmade Christmas book I'll have a look when I get home and see if it's in there

Oh, that would be fantastic, Snoooozze - thank you!

No luck in the book sorry!

I did find this on Pinterest though!

Aw, the kindness of Mumsnetters! Thanks so much for trying and for the link - I've already seen it and sadly, it doesn't give the actual recipe...

I may just wing it - I mean, you can't really go wrong with vodka and condensed milk, can you! 😀Thanks again, Snoooozzze.

Lots of recipes online for Eierlikör. From what you describe, I think this one may share a common origin with Kirstie's -

Many thanks, DoginaTent - that does look like the same sort of mixture. It was a very basic/cheat version that was still delicious. I'll try this - thanks!

@MercyChant66 do you know what series it was in? There are episodes on YouTube that you could rewatch.

Thanks, WoollybacksWife - I have tried this too but not found the right episode - (I'm starting to sound a little desperate for my festive tipple)! Thank you.

@MercyChant66 the episodes are on prime apparently and all4 but I'm not sure what series the recipe appears in

I definitely don't think you can go far wrong lol if all else fails Asda sell snowballs which aren't bad 😂

Ooh - off to have a look now! Thank you so much - and for the Asda tip!

easy looking recipe here with comment to cut down sugar a bit?

I think it might be Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas 2014?

Sorry not what I thought. It was Jenny Eclair watching in 2014
”programme finally ended with me necking an Advocaat nightcap while Kirstie watched the Norwegian Christmas tree lighting up in Trafalgar Square.”

Thanks for recipe Hannah - I'm saving that one too!

Quick update - I found the recipe on the Intro episode to the 2018 series! I shall be making it soon and raising a glass to all you helpful Mumsnetters! Merry Christmas and thank you!

And you don't post it on here.....

You know you will never lose it again if you post on here

Great idea Myyear!

Whisk together:
6 egg yolks
Teaspoon of vanilla essence
Tin of condensed milk

Then add vodka (no amount specified in the TV programme so taste it as you slug it in). Keep chilled in fridge for around 2 weeks. Lovely on its own straight from fridge or mixed into a snowball.
Cheers!

This is it I make it every year since seeing it on show

Thank you so much Noodle - great to have the precise recipe and brilliant timing as I'm planning to make this tomorrow!
