Servings: 6

1/2 cup almonds, unblanched

2 cups cream

1 cup milk

1/2 cup honey

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and toast the almonds on a cookie sheet until dark brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Chop the almonds until medium coarse and set aside.

2. Bring the cream, milk and honey to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add the almonds. Steep for 2 hours.

3. Strain the cream mixture into another pot to remove the almonds. Bring the strained mixture to a boil over medium heat and temper the yolks by slowly whisking them into half a cup of the hot cream mixture. Return the egg yolk mixture to the pot.
