Steps:
- Cut each banana into 6 chunks and freeze until rock solid, preferably overnight.
- Put the banana chunks and vanilla bean seeds or extract in a food processor and process. Hang on, your food processor may jolt in the very beginning! The bananas will look crumbly at first, then gooey and eventually light and creamy- just like ice cream. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl and break up any clumps. Serve right away or scrape into a container and freeze until ready to serve.
VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM
This recipe is different in that it uses vanilla beans and vanilla extract! Adapted from a vanilla website. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this ice cream! Instructions follow. This is an American recipe and fits into many regions. Southern, cause it's hot and ice cream cools ya off. Summertime in the USA means ice cream, don't it?

Steps:
- Split vanilla beans lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Gently scrape out all the seeds.
- Place vanilla-bean scrapings and pods in a medium saucepan with milk. Scald the mixture, cover, and remove from heat. Let steep for 30 minutes.
- Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, whisk together in a medium bowl.
- Return milk to stove, and bring just to a simmer. Using a measuring cup or ladle, slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot-milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly on low speed until blended. Keep adding milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until it has all been added. Whisk until combined.
- Pour mixture back into saucepan, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger.
- Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Remove pan from heat, and immediately stir in chilled cream to stop the custard from cooking. Pour through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl set in the ice bath, and stir occasionally until cooled. (Discard vanilla-bean pod and strained seeds.) Stir vanilla extract into cooled custard. Cover bowl, and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Pour custard into an ice-cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Churn until the ice cream is just set, but not hard.
- Transfer soft ice cream to an airtight plastic container; freeze at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.
- If you don't have an ice-cream maker, you can still make ice-cream. After you have made up your mixture, transfer it to a lidded plastic box (a shallow one enables the freezing to happen more quickly and also makes whisking easier as the beater can go down straight into the box) and put it in the coldest part of the freezer for two hours, or until the contents become firm at the edges. At this stage, empty out the box into a mixing bowl and whisk the ice cream with an electric hand whisk to break down the ice crystals. Return the box to the freezer and freeze for another two hours, then repeat the whisking process. Refreeze the ice-cream ( if making a sorbet that contains a generous quantity of alcohol, freeze overnight ) until 30-45 minutes before you want to serve it, at which time you should transfer it into the fridge to soften. Incidentally, it's a good idea to arm yourself with a digital kitchen timer to remind you to remove the ice cream and whip it at various stages.

BEST EVER VANILLA ICE CREAM
This ice cream is technically a custard since it contains eggs. After lots of testing (and tasting), I've found that eggs are the key to making a smooth and creamy ice cream at home that rivals what you can get at a premium ice cream shop. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: Ripeness enhances the banana flavor and creaminess of the ice cream.
- Freeze the bananas in advance: Freezing makes them easier to blend and prevents the ice cream from becoming too icy.
- Use a high-powered blender: This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- Don't over blend: Over blending can incorporate too much air, making the ice cream less dense and creamy.
- Add the vanilla bean paste early: This allows the flavor to infuse throughout the ice cream.
- Chill the ice cream base thoroughly: Chilling helps the ice cream set properly and prevents it from becoming too soft.
- Use an ice cream maker that is frozen according to the manufacturer's instructions: This ensures the ice cream freezes properly.
- Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Churning time can vary depending on the ice cream maker.
