Combine almond milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Whisk in cornstarch until fully incorporated, cooking for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix almond butter and coconut cream until smooth.

Combine the almond milk mixture with the almond butter mixture, whisking until well blended.

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold.

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

During the last few minutes of churning, add chocolate chips and chopped roasted almonds if desired.

Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.

Scoop and serve, garnished with additional almonds or chocolate if desired.
