Scald the almonds with boiling water, remove the brown skin and pound or chop them fine; place a saucepan over the fire with 1 pint milk, the sugar, yolks, vanilla and the pounded almonds; stir until nearly boiling; soak the gelatine in 1 cup cold milk, add it to the hot milk and stir till dissolved; then strain through a sieve; when cold and beginning to thicken stir in the whipped cream, turn into a form and set for 2 hours in cracked ice.
