    1. Combine the milk and heavy cream, then pour a third of the mixture into a separate bowl. 2. Whisk the rice flour into that reserved milk-and-cream mixture. 3. Set the rest of the milk and cream over medium heat and bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low, add the crushed almonds, and stir. 4. Pour in the milk-and-flour mixture, stirring without stopping. 5. Add the sugar and stir. Taste it — now's the moment to adjust the sweetness and add a little more sugar if you like. 6. Add the nutmeg and lemon zest. 7. Still stirring, cook the mixture over low heat until it thickens. 8. Pour the finished mixture into molds and let it cool. 9. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or overnight if you like (it's best to cover the molds with plastic wrap). Enjoy!
