To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the sliced almonds. Let it steep for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.

Once done, remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it turns golden brown. Garnish with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
