CHOCOLATE BANANA CHUNK ICE CREAM
Steps:
- If using an electric ice cream maker, place the body into the freezer overnight. It needs to be completely frozen to freeze the ice cream.
- Combine the cream, milk, and 1 cup of the sugar in a medium, heavy bottom saucepan. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the cream mix and add in the bean itself. Bring to a light boil over medium high heat, watching carefully so the mixture doesn't boil over. Remove from the heat.
- Beat the yolks in a mixing bowl and slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture. Gradually add the egg mixture back into the pot of cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon or reaches 170 degrees F, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a container. Cover and place in the refrigerator to cool for about 2 to 3 hours.
- Put the ice cream maker together and turn it on. Pour in the cream mixture and let churn for about 20 to 25 minutes, according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir in the banana and chocolate when the ice cream is 3/4 of the way frozen.

Steps:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine cream, milk and sugar. Scrape seeds of vanilla bean into cream mixture and drop in the seedpod also. Place saucepan over medium-high heat. As soon as mixture begins to boil, remove pan from heat.
- Beat egg yolks in a small bowl and slowly, in a very thin stream, add 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the cream from scrambling the eggs. Gradually pour yolk and cream mixture back into saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to thicken slightly, coats the back of a spoon and reaches 210 F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove pan from heat. Pour cream mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl and let cool for 10-20 minutes. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your ice-cream maker. Pour in the chilled cream mixture and let the machine churn for 20-25 minutes. Add the banana and chocolate when the ice cream is 3/4 frozen. Let the machine churn for another 5-10 minutes maximum. Cover the surface of the ice cream with wax paper or plastic wrap before storing in freezer to prevent ice crystals from forming.
