Healthy Banana, Almond and Chocolate Ice Cream (serves 2 or 3)
3 very ripe bananas, peeled, cut into chunks and frozen 3/4 dl (1/3 cup) almond butter 1/2 dl (1/4 cup) bittersweet or dark chocolate chips chopped almond and chocolate for garnish (optional)If using a high speed blender such as a Vita-mix or Blendtec: Place the bananas and almond butter into the blender container. Turn on the machine and quickly increase speed to high. Use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades while processing. Once everything is slightly combined, stop the machine and add the chocolate chips. Turn the machine back on and again increase the speed to high. In about 10-30 seconds, the sound of the motor will change and mounds should appear in the mixture. Stop machine immediately or melting can occur.
If using a food processor: In a food processor combine the bananas and almond butter. Process until almost smooth. Add the chocolate chips and process until well combined.
Scoop into bowls, top with chopped chocolate and almonds, if using, and serve immediately.
Note: You can also freeze the mixture to get a harder ice cream, but you may have to let it sit out and thaw for a minute or two before you'll be able to scoop it.
