Ingredients:

• 1 pound of brioche dough

5. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, flour, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract.
6. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
7. Remove from heat, pour it into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cool.
8. Once the brioche circle has cooled, cut it in half horizontally.
9. Spread the cooled cream mixture on the bottom half of the brioche.
10. Top with the whipped cream and then the other half of the brioche, pressing down gently.
11. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and chill for an hour before serving.
