Depends on the recipe. If the yolks are acting as a thickening then I would say No. If they are an ingredient mixed into dry ingredients than probably Yes. Lemon Meringue Pie. You couldn't use powdered eggs in the making of the filling. Just wouldn't work.

∙ 11y agoIt might taste weird if you use the whole egg if it says egg yolk. Then again, it might not. It would contain more fat, and it could end up with a "rubbery" texture.
Another answer:
The recipe might not cook or bake correctly. If you are making custard, the recipe will curdle. If you are making a crust or dough, the egg whites will dry out the dough and it won't be as soft and moist.

Can you use whole eggs instead of just egg yolks in chocolate pudding?
Most chocolate pudding recipes I find are egg free. However a chocolate pudding that uses eggs yolks is essentially a chocolate custard. If you used whole eggs in a custard it would not set the same as when made the usual way with just yolks. Some custards do have beaten egg white added separately after they set. Note: there is a British recipe for steamed "chocolate pudding" that uses whole eggs, but its texture is more like a cake than pudding.

What function do eggs have in cake?
Eggs are the main binding agent in cakes. They hold the cake together so that it does not fall apart and / or crumble once it is removed from the pan after baking. They also add some moisture and taste to the cake, due to the fat content in the egg yolks There are two parts to an egg the yolk and the egg white. In a cake you use both parts of an egg. The egg hold the cake together and without it, it would he dry and crumbly! The eggs act as an emulsifier. and, in plain english, this just means that they bind the ingredients together and stop them from separating during and after the baking process. so the cake wont be dry To make it light,and when you eat the cake the flour taste creamy and rich a bit,it basically locks the flavour.
