Remove the cornstarch mixture from heat and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, salt, and evaporated milk together using an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined.

Slowly pour the hot cornstarch mixture into the egg mixture while beating continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
