Prepare the Almonds:
Coarsely crush the almonds using a mortar and pestle, ensuring not to pulverize them too finely.
Roast the crushed almonds over low heat until lightly golden, taking care not to burn them. Set aside to cool.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the sugar and heat over medium-low heat. Allow the sugar to melt slowly from the edges without stirring.
Prepare the Milk Mixture:
Mix the Thickening Agents:
In a separate bowl, combine the reserved half cup of milk with cornstarch, flour, and egg yolk. Mix well until smooth and there are no lumps.
Combine and Cook:
Gradually pour the milk mixture into the saucepan with the sugar-milk mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Blend and Finish:
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the mixture until smooth.
Stir in the roasted almonds.
Chill and Serve:
Pour the dessert mixture into serving bowls or glasses.
Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours until completely chilled and set.
Serve cold and enjoy your delicious almond dessert!
This creamy and nutty dessert is perfect for any occasion, combining the richness of almonds with a smooth, satisfying texture. Enjoy the delightful flavors and textures with every spoonful!
