Chocolate Banana Ice Cream

I love love love ice cream! But... I'm lactose intolerate and I am yet to find a good soy ice cream out there that I enjoy.  Looking at the Pioneer Woman's website, like I always do, I was drooling over her 'I Scream' post all about ice cream.  Then I discovered that she had a whole section of non-dairy ice cream recipes that were posted on the Tasty Kitchen website.  I don't have an ice cream maker (yet!) but I found this recipe for Healthy, Impossibly Easy Banana Ice Cream that doesn't use an ice cream maker, doesn't have dairy, and is healthy!  I was so excited that I went out the next day to the store and bought so many bananas.  I followed the recipe posted on Tasty Kitchen and added 4 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1/4 Cup almond milk, and 1 Tbsp vanilla to the 3 sliced frozen bananas.  I don't have a very good blender but I just kept blending and stirring the mixture until it formed the texture I wanted.  Then I sprinkled it with mini chocolate chips and enjoyed!

Side Note:  I only ate half of the batch that I made and kept the other half covered in the freezer overnight.  The next day I let it sit at room temperature for about 30min and then it was perfect texture to eat again!
