   Making the meringue:

4. Shape the meringue in quenelles using two spoons.

6. Using a skimmer, remove the meringue from the milk. Make sure to have 500ml of milk remaining.
   
   Making the creme anglaise:
7. Bring the 500ml milk we used for meringue to a light boil. Remove from the heat, and set aside.
8. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with 30g of sugar until it is lighter in color.
9. Stir in the warm milk with the egg yolk mixture.
10. Transfer the mixture in a saucepan.
11. Stir and cook it at 83°C using a spatula until it slightly thickens. Remove from the heat.
12. Cool down the creme anglaise until serving. Set aside.
13. Toast the sliced almonds in an oven at 160°C for 5-7 minutes.
