Banana and Peanut Butter 4-Ingredient 'Ice Cream' image

I make this for my family all the time! This is a great recipe for vegan/vegetarian diets, just replace the peanut butter with organic peanut butter or another nut butter. Substitute water for milk if desired. The more milk you add, the thinner and soupier your ice cream will be. Serve with sliced fresh fruit or handmade whipped cream.

Time 30m

Yield About 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 very ripe medium bananas
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
A few drops of vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • In a blender, purée bananas, sugar, lemon juice and salt until smooth.
  • In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Whisking constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream.
  • Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir buttermilk and the fruit purée into base. Add a few drops of vanilla extract if desired. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.
