It is permitted to knead foods on Yom Tov for the sake of eating the food on Yom Tov.[1] It is permitted to knead the foods in their [regular] fashion, if it would either cause a loss or a diminish of quality of the taste, to have kneaded it before Yom Tov.[2]
Foods that could be kneaded before Yom Tov without any loss or diminish of taste:[3] It is forbidden to [regularly] knead on Yom Tov, foods that do not diminish in taste, if they were to be kneaded before Yom Tov. An example of such foods is Lokshin, in which the older they are, the tastier. They may however be cooked with an irregularity.[4] [Some Poskim[5], however, rule that all foods which are better when kneaded the day before may not be done at all on Yom Tov, even with an irregularity. Other Poskim[6], however, rule that even by foods which are better in quality when kneaded before Yom Tov, one may knead it on Yom Tov using an irregularity.]

Summary: It is permitted to knead foods on Yom Tov for the sake of eating the food on Yom Tov. However, if it is a type of food which is better in quality when kneaded before Yom Tov one may only do so on Yom Tov using an irregularity. In all cases it is forbidden to knead more food than necessary for that day of Yom Tov.
It is thus permitted to:[7] 1. Beat an egg 2. Make whipped cream 3. Make Mayonnaise
May one make Tehina on Yom Tov? Yes. It may be done even regularly, as doing so before Yom Tov would diminish its quality.
May one make pudding or Jell-O on Yom Tov?[8] Yes. It may be done even regularly, as doing so before Yom Tov would diminish its quality.
May one knead dough on Yom Tov?[9] Yes. It is permitted to knead dough on Yom Tov for the sake of baking it and then eating it on Yom Tov. This, however, may only be done if one does not have any fresh bread available, or does not have an abundance of fresh bread to last him throughout the day.[10]

[5] Implication of M”A 495:3 in name of Maharil, and so learns Biur Hagr”a and Shaar Hatziyon 495:8; Nitei Gavriel 2:4 footnote 6 in opinion of Admur 495:5-6 who does not write that one may cook the fruits or knead the Lukshun with an irregularity. He proves from here that foods which are better when cooked the day before do not have an allowance of a Shinuiy on Yom Tov.
Other opinions: Some Poskim rule may perform even this Melacha on Yom Tov with an irregularity. [Peri Chadash 495; Biur Hagr”a 495; P”M 495 A”A 3; Shaar Hatziyon 495:8; Aruch Hashulchan 495:36]
[6] Some Poskim rule may perform even this Melacha on Yom Tov with an irregularity. [Peri Chadash 495; Biur Hagr”a 495; P”M 495 A”A 3; Shaar Hatziyon 495:8; Aruch Hashulchan 495:36; Implication of Admur who rules in 495:5 that all the Melachos which are not done for many days’ worth, like Kneading, may be done on Yom Tov. Nevertheless, it may only be done with an irregularity, unless it was not done on Erev Yom Tov due to Onness, or due to it not being as fresh if it were to be done then, in which case it’s permitted to do regularly on Yom Tov.
