Quick and Divine 5-Minute Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 110 g (3.9 oz) sugar
- 10 g (0.35 oz) vanilla sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 350 g (12.3 oz) sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 40 g (1.4 oz) butter
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, lightly beat the large egg.
- Add sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch to the egg. Whisk the mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the sour cream or Greek yogurt while continuously whisking until the mixture is fully integrated without lumps.
Cook the Filling:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or clumping.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Butter:
- Once the filling has thickened, remove the pot from the heat.
- Add the butter to the warm mixture and stir until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Cool the Filling:
- Pour the thickened filling into a bowl.
- Cover the surface of the filling with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow the filling to cool at room temperature.
Tips for Success
- Constant Stirring: Keep stirring the mixture while on the heat to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Temperature Control: Ensure you cook the filling over medium heat. Too high a temperature can cause uneven cooking and potential burning.
- Adding Butter: Add the butter while the mixture is still warm so that it melts easily and blends into the filling, giving it a rich and creamy texture.
