Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast the slivered almonds on a baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

To assemble the mousse, divide the mascarpone mixture among four serving glasses or bowls.
