Chocolate Almond Ice Cream

by Mike
(Greensboro, North Carolina)

Put in a powerful blender a handful or two of raw almonds.
Add enough water to cover a few inches over the nuts.
Add two heaping tablespoons of carob powder.
Add a couple of tablespoons of natural sugar or honey.
Blend at high speed until a thick chocolate syrup consistancy.
Add four or five frozen bananas into the blender and use the plunger to push them into the blades until you have a nice blended ice cream.

The flavor of the nuts together with the crunch add a lot of interest to this simple chocolate ice cream. This can be done with just almond milk and frozen bananas but the added benefit of the nuts makes this worth the effort and cheaper.
