This dish was created in 1951 in New Orleans by a cook at Brennan's restaurant for a friend by the name of Foster.

Bring a cup of milk to the boil, add the almond paste and the sugar and let it stand for an hour. Puree or mix until all lumps have dissolved. Add the rest of the milk and the rice flour, bring slowly to the boil whilst stirring, simmer on very low heat for a couple of minutes. Pour the mixture in glasses, allow it to cool down and sprinkle with shaved almonds.
