Lentils offer protein with a different texture.

Grease a 30 cm by 20 cm baking dish with butter.

In a blender, combine 400 ml of condensed milk, 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup of sugar.

Blend until well mixed.

Add 2 cups of maizena (cornstarch) and 1 teaspoon of salt, and blend again until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a spatula.

Gradually add 1 liter of whole milk while stirring.

Once the mixture is hot and starts to thicken, switch to a whisk and add 1 cup of butter and vanilla extract.

Continue stirring until the mixture is thick and creamy, then remove from heat.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40 minutes.

Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
