Step-by-step

• Iniziate facendo il latticello. In una caraffa mescolate lo yogurt con il latte ed il succo di 1 cucchiaino di limone, fate riposare per 30 minuti a temperatura ambiente.
• Nella planetaria o con le fruste elettriche lavorate il burro, lo zucchero, il sale e i semini di vaniglia fino ad ottenere un composto chiaro e spumoso.
• Aggiungete al composto di burro, un uovo leggermente sbattuto e, impastando a velocità media, un cucchiaio di farina, in questo modo l'impasto non si "straccerà". Quando il primo uovo si è amalgamato, aggiungete il secondo sempre leggermente sbattuto e un altro cucchiaio di farina preso sempre dal totale. Fate la stessa operazione anche per il terzo uovo.
• Con le fruste in movimento inserite alternando il latticello e la farina. Ripetete il procedimento fino al termine degli ingredienti.
• Aggiungete le codette colorate all'impasto e mescolare velocemente.
• Rivestite una teglia da muffin con i pirottini di carta. Riempite per due terzi i pirottini con l'impasto aiutandovi con un cucchiaio o un dosa gelato, mettete altre codette sull'impasto.
• Fate cuocere in forno preriscaldato a 175° per circa 15 minuti, fate sempre la prova stecchino che deve uscire asciutto.
• Per il frosting. Lavorate il formaggio cremoso in una ciotola fino ad ottenere un composto liscio e cremoso.
• Mettete il burro e lo zucchero a velo in un'altra ciotola. Lavorateli fino ad avere un composto chiarissimo e spumoso.
• Unite il formaggio cremoso, poco alla volta, alla crema al burro e mescolate a velocità medio-alta fino a quando sono ben amalgamati.
