Gradually whisk in about 2 cups of the hot milk mixture; return all to saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture coats the back of a spoon (170°F). Strain milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl placed in a larger bowl of ice water; stir to cool. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours. Freeze chilled mixture in a 1 1/2-quart ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's directions, adding 2/3 of the Cinnamon-Almond Crunch during the last 5 minutes. Ripen 4 hours. Sprinkle each serving of ice cream with remaining crunch topping. Cinnamon-Almond Crunch Preheat oven to 300°F. In a small saucepan combine coconut oil, honey, cinnamon and salt. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted and well combined. Add almonds and coconut; toss to coat. Spread mixture into an even layer in a small shallow baking pan. Bake for 14 minutes or until mixture is nearly dry and evenly browned, stirring twice throughout bake time. Transfer mixture to a large sheet of foil; cool completely.
