TIP: It is important to stay within the 165°F–175°F range. The eggs should reach at least 165°F for them to be food safe, but they will scramble if overcooked. Additionally, cooking to this temperature range integrates the sugar and thickens the mixture, resulting in a smoother texture.
MAKE IT DAIRY-FREE Swap in unsweetened coconut cream for the heavy cream, and unsweetened oat milk for the whole milk.
