Serving Size : 6
3 cups heavy cream
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 pinch salt
4-1/2 ounces whole almonds, blanched, toasted
1/2 cup light brown sugar
Heat cream in a heavy saucepan. Add granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Beat egg yolks until light and creamy. Add the hot cream to the egg yolks gradually, whipping constantly with a wire whisk (not an electric beater). Stir in remaining ingredients except the brown sugar. Pour into a 6-cup souffle dish, and sprinkle brown sugar on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, or until custard tests done.
