- Place the corn kernels and the milk into a blender
- Blend the mixture well
- Add the all-purpose flour to the blender
- Blend again to incorporate
- Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the fiber
- Transfer the liquid to a saucepan and place over low heat
- Stir constantly until thickened to ensure the dough remains smooth without lumps
- Transfer the cream to a dish and let it cool completely
- Mix the egg yolk into the cooled dough
- Work the dough with hands lightly dusted in flour
- Shape the dough into long cylinders on a surface dusted with flour
- Cut the cylinders into small pieces to match the size of traditional gnocchi

- Bake just long enough for the cheese to melt and turn golden brown
