Egg liqueur - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace cognac with an equal amount of brandy or rum for a similar flavor profile. If you prefer non-alcoholic, use 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract mixed with 1/4 cup of apple juice, though the texture may be slightly thinner.
Store in airtight bottles in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Always check for any off smells or changes in texture before consuming. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
Absolutely! Replace the cognac with 1/4 cup of strong brewed coffee or espresso for depth. Add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to maintain the flavor complexity without alcohol.
Yes, halve all ingredients precisely. Use a smaller bowl for mixing to ensure even distribution. The water bath step may take slightly less time - check for thickening at 8 minutes instead of 10.
Look for separation of liquids, an off (sour or rancid) smell, or mold growth. If you see any of these, discard immediately. Always store in clean, airtight containers to maximize shelf life.
Absolutely! It's great in place of cream in White Russians, or over ice cream. For a cocktail, mix 2 parts liqueur with 1 part vodka over ice for a Creamy Viking cocktail.
If it starts to curdle, immediately remove from heat and whisk vigorously. If lumps remain, strain through a fine mesh sieve. Unfortunately, you can't fully reverse curdling, but it will still taste fine in most recipes.
Yes, replace the condensed milk with 1 cup of coconut cream and 1/4 cup of maple syrup. The texture will be slightly less thick, so simmer in the water bath for an extra 2-3 minutes until it coats a spoon.
