This Almond Chocolate Ice Cream Dairy Free recipe is a delightful dessert that is great for those who cannot tolerate dairy products. The creamy texture comes from the almond milk and egg yolks, while the addition of Amaretto and chopped dark chocolate complement each other perfectly to create a rich and indulgent treat. Toasted slivered almonds and chocolate-covered almonds add a nice crunch to every scoop. This dessert is perfect for a warm summer day and is a great addition to any dinner party or family gathering.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, vanilla extract, and Amaretto and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2.	In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until pale and thick.
3.	Slowly pour the hot almond milk mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly.
4.	Return the mixture to the saucepan and set over low heat.
5.	Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
6.	Remove the mixture from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
7.	Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
8.	Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until completely cool, at least 2 hours.
9.	Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
10.	Add in the toasted slivered almonds and chocolate-covered almonds during the last few minutes of churning.
11.	Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 2-4 hours.
