DIRECTIONS:
Whisk all ingredients except the butter in a saucepan on low heat. Keep whisking/stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon for about 5-9 minutes – it varies based on how low your ‘low heat’ is and also based on how big your eggs were. You will know when it is done – it suddenly becomes thick – keep on stirring/whisking and remove from heat. Add the butter slices and stir until smooth. Set aside to fully cool.
Spread onto crust and cool fully in fridge to set. Cut and enjoy!
