Note: You will obtain better results if you toast your own almonds. Buy blanched almonds, toast in the oven at 250 for 2-4 minutes (watch them carefully so they don't burn). You may want to chop the almonds before toasting if you prefer smaller pieces.

2 cup milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup cream
1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup almond butter
Melt chocolate over low heat.
Gradually stir in cocoa powder and milk while continuing to heat. You want the consistency to be thick but not solid as you add the milk and cocoa powder. Beat sugar into eggs. Stir hot chocolate/milk mixture into eggs. Add cream and vanilla extract. Cool. Just before adding to ice cream maker, stir a cup of ice cream mixture into almond butter. Once mixed, stir into rest of ice cream mixture. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
