Frozen Chocolate Banana Almond Cream
I created this dish one night because I was craving chocolate. I went into the kitchen to find something to put together with chocolate in it. Two things were quite obvious from the moment I looked in the pantry. I really needed to go to the grocery store and I needed to get creative. So I decided to let the show Chopped inspire me to use what I had on hand to come up with something. And, it turned out we really liked it! Enough so that I've played around with the recipe to come up with a few variations.
I love to serve this dessert in the ice cream dishes my Grandma Stamm gave me for my hope chest when I was a teenager. But, any dessert dish will work just fine.
I shared a version of this recipe on Potluck with Judy in September 2013. If you look at the two versions, you'll see they vary slightly. Basically, I found the addition of the apple butter didn't enhance the flavor or texture, so it felt like a wasted ingredient.
Note: I use as many organic ingredients as I can find, so I rarely include the word "organic" in my list of ingredients.
