BANANA ICE CREAM



Banana Ice Cream image

Homemade Banana Ice Cream. TO DIE FOR. Rich, creamy, and studded with big chunks of dark chocolate. Simple, from-scratch recipe that anyone can make!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dessert

Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups heavy cream
5 large egg yolks (save the whites for another use)
1 cup whole milk (yes, it must be WHOLE milk!)
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large very ripe bananas ((or 4 medium) the more brown, the better)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon dark rum ( or vodka*)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (roughly chopped (about 2/3 cup))

Steps:

  • Prep your workstation: Create an ice bath by placing a moderate amount of ice and water in a large bowl. Set an empty, medium bowl in the larger one on top of the ice. Pour the heavy cream into the medium bowl and set a strainer on top. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until well combined.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir together the milk, sugar, and salt until small bubbles form along the edges and the sugar has dissolved. Do not let boil.
  • Gradually pour some of the milk into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly as you pour (I like to use a ladle for this). Once you've poured in some of the milk, return the saucepan to the stove over low heat. Slowly pour the yolks into the saucepan, stirring constantly. This process is called tempering and will keep the eggs from scrambling.
  • Continue cooking the egg-milk mixture (also called custard) over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom of the saucepan with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spatula. Strain the custard into the bowl with the heavy cream.
  • Place half of the custard into a blender or food processor with the bananas. Puree until smooth, then pour it back into the bowl with the rest of the custard. Stir in the vanilla extract and rum. Cover, pressing a piece of plastic wrap against the surface, then chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or, if time allows, overnight.
  • Freeze the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, adding the chocolate during the last 5 minutes of churning. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze 3 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.

ONE-INGREDIENT BANANA ICE CREAM



One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream image

This outrageously easy "ice cream" is just the sort of dessert to please everyone at the table - the vegans, the lactose-intolerant, the paleo enthusiasts, the picky children. Just toss four frozen bananas into a blender and give it a good whirl. If you like soft-serve consistency, eat it right away (and adding a few tablespoons of milk to the blender wouldn't hurt, but it's not necessary). For more traditional scoops, freeze it in an airtight container, and dole out as you would the Ben & Jerry's. Consider adding a spoonful of peanut butter, Nutella or honey; a handful of chocolate chips or almonds; or a 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger, cardamom or cinnamon.

EASY & HEALTHY BANANA "ICE CREAM"



Easy & Healthy Banana

After seeing this idea floating around the web, I thought I'd experiment a little. Three simple ingredients, no sugar added, no ice cream machine needed... How much healthier and easier could it get? This "ice cream" is smooth like soft serve and naturally sweet. Plus it has the potential for so many add-ins (dark chocolate chips, chopped strawberries, nuts... just to name a few). Please note "Cooking Time" includes time needed to cure in the freezer. If you are as excited as my 4-year-old was to eat this "ice cream", you may choose to serve it directly after turning out of the food processor instead of freezing for 2-4 hours, but please be aware that it will be soft and melt much faster. My daughter, the best taste-tester around, approves, and I hope you do too!

Categories     Ice Cream

Time 2h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup milk (or coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Slice bananas and arrange in one layer onto a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 2 hours.
  • Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade, place banana slices. Pulse for a few seconds at a time until a course crumb texture is reached.
  • Add milk and vanilla. Continue processing, occasionally scraping the sides of the processor bowl with a rubber spatula, until mixture reaches a creamy, smooth soft-serve consistency.
  • With a spatula, turn "ice cream" into a freezer container. Cover and freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture is reached.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice cream will be.
  • Freeze the bananas in advance: This will help them blend more smoothly and create a creamier texture.
  • Use a high-powered blender: This will help you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Such as chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit.
  • Chill the ice cream before serving: This will help it firm up and scoop more easily.

Conclusion:

Banana ice cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a banana ice cream recipe that everyone will love.
