Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and large bubbles begin to break the surface, about 10–12 minutes. Once bubbling, continue to whisk for 1 full minute — the custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon with a clear line when a finger is drawn through.
