This recipe does take some time to make, but it's well worth it. And it's mostly hands-off, considering most of the time is spent waiting for the bananas to freeze. Frozen banana pieces process into a delicious silky mixture with the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. It's flavored with vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and sliced toasted almonds. For a firmer texture or to make this "ice cream" ahead of time, you can transfer blended mixture into an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve. Keep in mind that you should allow it to soften for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
