Remove from the heat; stir in almonds and extract. Cool slightly; cover and chill.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine cornstarch and remaining water; add raspberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice. Cover and chill.
Just before serving, whip cream until soft peaks form; fold into rice mixture. Spoon into individual serving dishes and top with raspberry sauce.
