Instructions 

• Add bananas to a blender or food processor. Blend until crumbly. Add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla, blending until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
• Add coconut, almonds and chocolate chips, blending until just incorporated (2-4 pulses). Alternately, you can melt the chocolate to achieve delicate chocolate flakes in your ice cream. To melt chocolate, follow instructions in Notes.**
• If you like super soft, melty ice cream, enjoy immediately. If you want firm and scoopable ice cream: pour into a freezer-friendly, airtight container, such as this reusable ice cream tub or these portion control ice cream containers.
• Freeze for 3-6 hours, or until completely frozen. Allow to thaw for 5-15 minutes before scooping. Enjoy!

Notes

• *You can use canned coconut cream, or you do the following: Allow a can of full-fat coconut milk to settle for 1-3 days—set it in a stable, cool environment. Open the can and scoop the firm, creamy white part off the top—this is the coconut cream.
• ** To create delicate chocolate flakes: Add chocolate chips to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 15-second increments until melted. Stir in between increments, until smooth. Scrape melted chocolate into the food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
• Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Before serving, allow to thaw for about 5-15 minutes. Scoop and enjoy!
