In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a small amount of the hot milk mixture to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool completely.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until creamy.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Once the ice cream is completely frozen (after about 4-5 hours), prepare the white chocolate coating.
Melt the white chocolate over a double boiler. Stir in the coconut oil until smooth and fluid.
Coarsely chop the almonds and toast them in a dry skillet. Stir the toasted almonds into the melted white chocolate.
Dip the ice cream scoops into the white chocolate-almond coating. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the coating to harden.
Before serving, let the ice cream stand at room temperature for a few minutes so the chocolate isn't too hard.
