Most gnocchi are savory. But not all, these milk gnocchi are a tasty vanilla-laced dessert from Artusi.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 quart of milk
- 1 1/4 cups sifted potato starch
- 8 yolks
- Vanilla extract to taste
- (optional) 3-4 level tablespoons sugar to sweeten the gnocchi
Preparation:
Mix everything together as if you were making cream, and set it to cook in a pot, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for a few minutes longer after the mixture has stiffened, then pour it out on a plate or pan so it's a finger and a half high. Cut it into squares once it has cooled. Stack the squares in a symmetrical pattern on a heat-proof dish, sprinkling them with bits of butter, and heat them through in the oven; serve hot.
