I made several egg white-based desserts yesterday.
Now I have 13 egg yolks in a container in the fridge. I know I can stir them up with a pinch of salt or sugar and freeze them, but still the question is how to use 'em?
I know some ice cream recipes use egg yolks but any other suggestions?
Creme fraiche (or whipped cream) on top. Spoon. Phone call to cardiologist to reschedule your cholesterol test for next month.
Or put it in those little individual pie crusts (you can make your own in muffin tins) and freeze for later midnight noms. Curd is very much like the custard part of lemon meringue pie, only creamier and richer.
6 yolks
2/3 cup marsala or other sherry
sugar to taste, depending on sweetness of marsala, may not need any if using sweet marsala
Whisk over super low heat or double boiler, whisking constantly until it becomes foamy. Remove from heat immediately and dump into serving dishes/wine glasses. Eat while still hot.
Extra egg yolks can be thrown into almost anything that uses eggs, to make it richer. Scrambled eggs? Add an extra yolk for every 2-3 eggs. Same with quiche or custards. I’ve thrown an extra yolk in baked goods, too - cookies and quick breads both work.
I made this 8 egg yolk poppy seed and lemon cakeyesterday - tasted good, although I might have to make it again when I am in less of a rush to perfect the texture.
