Warm up (don't boil!) the milk in a sauce pan.
In a bowl, mix the eggs and the sugar until light yellow and foamy.
Add the corn starch and mix well.
Add the warm milk, starting by a tiny bit at the time and stir well so your eggs won't cook.
Add the rest of the milk and stir.
Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan on medium heat and stir continuously until you see a few bubbles.
Pass trough a chinois to remove any cooked egg bits.
Pour into a bowl with a plastic wrap right on top of your pastry cream and refrigerate for at least 1h or overnight.
When you are ready to use, just give it a big stir with your stand mixer so it become soft again.
