Ingredients:

45g blanched almonds
480ml milk
160ml double cream
3 egg yolks
100g sugar

Method:

Place the almonds in a coffee grinder or food processor and render to a fine powder. Add to a saucepan along with the milk and cream. Heat gently and bring just to a boil then remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.

Cream together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the cooled almond mixture and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon to combine. Return the resultant mixture to the pan then stir over medium heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, but do not boil.

Strain the custard into a clean bowl, allow to cool to room temperature then pour the mixture into the bowl of an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
