- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cornstarch

Instructions
1. Prepare the crust
(If you want it like the picture.)

2. Make the creamy filling
- In a blender or bowl, mix:
- eggs

- melted butter
- Blend until smooth and lump-free.

This makes the texture SUPER smooth and creamy.
