Ingredients

1¾ cups heavy cream
1¼ cups milk
⅔ cups sugar
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
½ cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
While the ice cream is churning, melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the almonds, stir to coat, and spread them out across the pan. Toast the almonds, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
When the almonds are golden and lightly browned, immediately transfer them to a plate. Spread them out to cool them quickly and stop the cooking process.
When the ice cream has almost finished churning, add the toasted almonds. Allow the machine to mix them throughout the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.
