3. Place the remaining sugar, egg yolks and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the egg yolk mixture. Mix all ingredients together with an immersion blender. If you do not have an immersion blender you can mix together with a whisk.
5. Strain this mixture and let it cool.

Cornbread Streusel

2. Place the freeze dried corn, almond flour, cake flour and salt in a food processor and mix together until all ingredients are combined well.
3. Drizzle in the melted Plugrá Butter and mix until you have a dry, crumbly mixture.
4. Spread the cornbread streusel over a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes. Streusel should be toasty without taking on any color.
