    1. In a food processor, pulse bananas, half of the cocoa powder, Splenda Sweetener, and salt until pea-sized chunks form. Add vanilla extract and the rest of the cocoa powder. Continue to pulse. Mixture will gather and form a frozen soft-serve ice-cream consistency. Drizzle in almond butter and pulse twice more.

    2. Scoop into bowls and serve topped with almonds or stir in almonds. Place in a freezer-safe container and enjoy within 3 days.

    3. Note: Toast almonds for a deeper, delicious flavor. Keep sliced bananas in a zip top bag in the freezer to have them ready on hand for making nice cream any time.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 225°F, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2. Slice apples ⅛” thin, using a knife, a v-slicer, or the slicing attachment of a food processor. Then arrange slices on prepared baking sheets and sprinkle evenly with 2 tbsp Splenda Sweetener and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Flip the chips onto the other side and bake for 20 minutes more.

    3. Turn oven off and leave apple chips inside for another hour, with the door closed. Chips should be mostly dry to the touch but will continue to dry out as they cool.

    4. While chips cool, make peanut butter yogurt dip by combining Greek yogurt, peanut butter, remaining 1 tbsp Splenda Sweetener, and remaining 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
