Milk and Vanilla Gnocchi recipe

Gnocchi isn't just a savoury dish - it can be sweet, too! This dessert, made with potato starch, milk and sugar is laced with vanilla for a deliciously sweet and soft pud, perfect for children and adults.

Ingredients:

• 950ml full fat milk
• 250g sifted potato starch
• 8 egg yolks
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 4 tbsp. caster sugar

Directions:

1. Combine milk, starch, yolks, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan. Stir everything together until stiff, then continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

2. Spread into a lined baking tin so that the mixture is about an inch thick. Leave to cool completely. Cut into squares.

3. To cook, stack the squares in a baking dish and dot with butter, then bake until hot for 5-10 minutes in a 200C oven. Serve immediately.

For a slight caramel flavour, use brown sugar instead of caster sugar in this recipe. Recipe serves 4.
