Prepare the pastry cream. Boil the milk with the vanilla pod. Whisk the flour, sugar and the egg yolks in a bowl. Gradually add the boiling milk. Put back onto a low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, bring to a slow boil, leave for a few seconds then take off the stove. Pour in a large mixing bowl. Prepare 6 individual serving dishes, place a layer of raspberries and sprinkle with raspberry liqueur. Whip the cream into chantilly cream, blend into the warm pastry cream, flavour with the remaining raspberry liqueur. Spread a layer of this mixture in the dishes, cover with more raspberries and coat with the remaining cream. Sprinkle some slivered almonds. Broil under the grill until slightly brown. Serve hot.
