Whisk everything well, then put the pan back on medium heat and stir continuously until your cream thickens.
Remove the pan from the heat, leave to cool for a moment, then add the butter in pieces, whisking with a whisk to melt it.
Spread your cream on the dough in a single layer and use the spatula to set the pie aside.
