This ice cream tastes like Almond Joy candy bars. Using a toaster oven and countertop ice cream maker couldn't make this any easier. It took several tries to find the right textures. I landed on sliced almonds, unsweetened finely shredded coconut and chopped chocolate. —Linda Kirkpatrick, Westminster, Maryland
