Equipment
- ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 2 medium bananas about 1.5 cups
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Ensure your ice cream maker will be ready to freeze the mixture in about an hour. This usually means the insert should be in the freezer the night before.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the peeled bananas. Smash with a fork or potato masher until smooth with tiny bits still visible.
- Add the granulated sugar and stir to combine.
- Add the cream, milk, & vanilla. Stir to mix.
- Place the bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes so the banana mixture is very cold before it goes into the ice cream insert.
- Get your ice cream machine ready per your model's instruction manual. Slowly pour the chilled banana ice cream base into the cold insert while it is running. Let your ice cream maker do all the work.
- Run the ice cream maker & churn for 15+ minutes or until it is ready. It should be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream and look similar to the photo above.
- Scoop out the fresh banana ice cream and place it into a freezer-safe container. You will need to freeze this for about 3-6 hours. It will then be ready to serve after it chills for hours.
- When it reaches the firmness you desire, scoop it into bowls or onto ice cream cones. ENJOY!
- If this ice cream does not get consumed all on the first day, it can be stored in the freezer for up to a week. Store in the air-tight container in your freezer. Remove the ice cream about 5 minutes before you want to eat it as homemade ice cream tends to be more solid and dense once frozen all the way through.
