- Stir gently for an additional 2-3 minutes until smooth and silky.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a bowl using a fine-mesh sieve.
- Cover the surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
