I doubt it, since I don't believe almond milk contains casein.  However, the 
cooked almond milk can gelatinize.

Ein Boch von Guter Speise and Das Kochbuch von Sabina Welserin have almond 
cheese recipes which either depend on the gelatinization or on the mixing of 
almonds, almond milk and dairy products.

You can find Alia Atlas's translation of Guter Speise here:
