  4. Be careful. When the milk reaches boiling, it produces a lot of foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Wait until you reach the desired thickness. In my case, it took 24 minutes. Add the butter and turn off the heat.

  6. Remember: it will thicken when it is cold.
  7. Serve cold or warm with chocolate sprinkles, raisins, or just by itself.
