Milk Gnocchi Dessert
A simple, baked milk-based dessert, cut into gnocchi shapes and browned in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 drops Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (Level tablespoon)
- 2 Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Butter (For greasing and dabbing)
Instructions
- 1In a saucepan, combine milk, vanilla extract, cornstarch, egg yolks, and sugar. Mix together with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- 2Place the saucepan on low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes stiff. Continue cooking for a few more moments, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- 3Turn the mixture out onto a breadboard or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread it to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm). Let it cool completely.
- 4Once cooled, cut the mixture into diamond or square shapes, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide.
- 5Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a baking dish. Arrange the squares in the dish, overlapping each other. Dot with small pieces of butter. Create another layer of squares, more dabs of butter, and so on until the dish is full. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
