I'm not a huge fan of chocolate ice cream, but this one is really good. The almonds add a nice touch of flavor and texture.

This ice cream is amazing! The chocolate and almond flavors are so rich and creamy. I love that it's not too sweet, either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my ice cream turned out a little too icy. I think I might have over-churned it. Otherwise, it was still delicious.
