Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened.
-
In a saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Bring it just below a simmer.
-
Slowly pour the warm heavy cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
-
Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it slightly thickens. Be careful not to let it boil.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
-
Stir in the rum, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
-
Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the liqueur to remove any bits of cooked egg or lumps. This step will ensure a smooth and velvety texture.
-
Pour the Eierlikor into sterilized bottles using a funnel, leaving a bit of space at the top of each bottle.
-
Seal the bottles tightly and store them in the refrigerator for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld together and intensify.
-
Give the bottles a gentle shake before serving the Eierlikor chilled as an after-dinner treat or a delightful addition to your favorite cocktails.
