atole de nuez (nutty cornmeal porridge)

In my home state of New Mexico we make atole with toasted blue corn meal and cow or goats milk. In other parts of México it's made with masa or masa harina and milk, flavored with nuts, berries, tropical fruits or chocolate. My version of atole is flavored with toasted almonds, anise seed and cinnamon and topped with slivered almonds, cinnamon and a splash of cold heavy cream for contrast. It was a perfect breakfast for a snowy day in nyc. * P.S. This tastes nothing like grits....
