Ingredients

1/2

cup sugar

4

eggs

1

teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1

can (14 oz) fat-free sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

1

can (12 oz) evaporated fat-free milk

1/4

cup coarsely chopped almonds

Toasted sliced almonds, if desired

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Pour sugar into 9-inch round cake pan. Place cake pan over medium heat. Cook 6 minutes, shaking pan occasionally with tongs, until sugar is dissolved and golden. Immediately remove from heat; set aside.

In medium bowl, stir eggs with whisk until foamy. Add vanilla, almond extract, condensed milk and evaporated milk; stir with whisk. Stir in chopped almonds. Pour mixture over sugar in cake pan.

Cover with foil; place pan in large shallow roasting pan. Place roasting pan in oven; add 1 inch hot water to roasting pan.

Bake 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake pan from water; place on cooling rack. Remove foil. Cool 30 minutes. Run knife or rubber spatula around edge of custard to loosen. Place serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Let stand 1 minute so syrup drizzles over custard. Remove pan. Sprinkle custard with sliced almonds.
