Make the custard: Whisk the cornstarch, granulated sugar, and salt together in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth with no dry lumps remaining.

Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil — about 7–9 minutes. Once it reaches a boil, continue whisking for 1 full minute until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and a finger drawn through leaves a clean line.
