Melt the chocolate chips. Stir in the coconut oil.
Toss your almonds in the chocolate. Stir to coat.
Fish them back out and arrange on a piece of wax paper.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
For the marshmallow fluff
Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Or you can use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer.
Beat on high speed for 15 to 20 minutes or until it is thick and fluffy with stiff peaks. It will seem like it’s not going to work for the first 10 minutes at least, just keep going.
Use immediately or it will begin to separate.
For the ice cream
Blend the bananas, cocoa powder and optional protein powder in a high speed blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add milk of choice a tablespoon at a time.
Assemble
In a jar/bowl, layer the chocolate ice cream with the marshmallow fluff, throwing in a few nuts between each layer. Top with a dollop of marshmallow and a sprinkling of nuts. Enjoy!
Notes
* If protein powder is too thick, you may need to add a dash of milk/liquid of choice. If you opt for the paleo option, disperse paleo marshmallows on top, before topping with the chocolate covered nuts.
