Mix the cornflour with 5 cl of milk.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks.

Whisk the whites to stiff peaks. When they start to firm up nicely, add the rest of the sugar.

Stir in the hot cream, then the egg whites.

Cover with the cream and flaked almonds.

Brown for two or three minutes under the grill.

Enjoy cold.
