Prepare the cream

The liquid rises in the pan because the air contained in the mass increases in volume. The milk thickens and forms rosettes when you take a little with a spoon and blow on it. First air bubbles form on the edges of the pan. If you are inexperienced, work slowly and very carefully.

When the mixture has set, immediately pour it into the bowl where the eggs were beaten.

Add the grated zest of a lemon. Do the same with the toasted almonds.

Let the device cool down to room temperature, then put it in the fridge.

When it has cooled down, pour it into the ice cream maker that you turn on. The constant movement of the mass during freezing prevents the formation of ice crystals.
