Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in butter and vanilla.

Cool for 15 minutes, stirring occassionally. Transfer to dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Consume an obscene amount.

Actually, Bran Muffin made this dessert last night for the first time and it was YUMMY. I highly recommend it. I hate that this thing doesn’t have a spell checker, by the way … or am I just missing it?
