For an extra layer of flavor, try replacing the almond extract with an equal amount of amaretto liqueur. Be mindful of the almond extract as it has a strong taste. Adjust the amount to your preference, but don't add too much. The water bath is crucial for achieving a smooth, creamy texture. Don't skip it! Freshly grated nutmeg adds a wonderful aroma and flavor, but pre-ground nutmeg can be used in a pinch.
