Chocolate Almond Mousse

3/4 cup LDF milk
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 package (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons slivered almonds

In medium saucepan, stir together milk, eggs, and sugar until thoroughly blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and reaches at least 160° F. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate and flavorings until chocolate is melted. Spoon into 8 pots de crème or 1/4-cup custard cups. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
