1. In a saucepan, melt milk chocolate with heavy cream until smooth. Remove and cool about 15 minutes.
2. Pour into a mixing bowl and add almond extract. Beat on low until smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours.
3. Scoop mixture into small 3/4 inch balls, roll in chopped almonds and freeze on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for about 1 hour.
4. Using a toothpick, dip each truffle completely in melted white chocolate. Tap the side of the bowl to remove excess. Allow to set on the cookie sheet for 30 minutes.
