Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Place the banana slices in a bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until they’re smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture if desired.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Stir the mashed bananas into the cream mixture, ensuring the bananas are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it’s completely cold. This step is essential for optimal ice cream consistency.
Step 5
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churning usually takes 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 6
Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Step 7
Scoop and serve the ice cream in bowls or cones. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, or caramel drizzle for extra indulgence!
