FAQ:
Q: Can I use whole eggs instead of just yolks?
A: Yolks provide the creaminess. Whole eggs can be used, but the texture will be lighter and less rich.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes, substitute with almond or oat milk, but the flavor will vary slightly.
Q: What if I don’t have cornstarch?
A: You can use the same amount of flour, though cornstarch gives a smoother finish.
