Steps:
- Separate the eggs and add the yolks to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the powdered sugar as well as the vanilla extract and mix with your electric hand mixer or a whisk until you have a creamy consistency.
- Mix in the whipping cream and keep whisking.
- Now slowly pour in the the rum and keep whisking vigorously.
- Once frothing, put the bowl in a hot water bath on the stovetop and keep whisking for a few minutes until the mixture is thick and creamy. This works best if you fill a flatter, medium-sized pot with hot water and place your mixing bowl into the hot water (use a bowl that can handle it - we would avoid plastic bowls). Make sure that the water in the pot is hot but not boiling since you don't want the egg liqueur to start bubbling and lose its alcohol. You want to heat the egg liqueur to around 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pour the egg liqueur into glasses to sip right away or into sanitized bottles to keep for later. If you use clean equipment and fresh eggs, the egg liqueur should keep in the fridge for around 4 months.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs. This will ensure that your advocaat is rich and flavorful.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will help them blend more easily with the other ingredients.
- Use a high-quality brandy. This will add a rich, complex flavor to your advocaat.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make your advocaat thick and curdled.
- Let your advocaat chill for at least 24 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and mature.

Advocaat is a delicious and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own, added to cocktails, or used in baking. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give advocaat a try!
