If you\u2019re going to the trouble of making homemade ice cream (not the no-churn variety, scrumptious as that is), the taste should make the effort worthwhile. This splurge-worthy banana ice cream recipe will make the prep and the wait more than worth it. Get ready for a treat with refreshing flavor and creamy texture, delicious on its own or with your favorite mix-ins.<\/p>\n<h2>Banana Ice Cream Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2059833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Banana-Ice-Cream_TOHD24_38405_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"ingredients for Banana Ice Cream \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA V\u00c4NNI for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Half-and-half cream:<\/strong> Remember that creamy texture we mentioned? It starts with this, giving the banana custard (what it looks like before you freeze it) a rich, satisfying base.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Bananas are quite sweet on their own. The starch-based fruit actually becomes sweeter as it ripens (what you are seeing as it ripens is actually the starch converting into sucrose, fructose, and glucose). Bear that in mind as you measure out sugar, depending on how sweet or subtle you want the banana flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Same guidance as above. If you like your ice cream on the sweeter side, limit the salt to just a taste. Also keep in mind how you\u2019ll be serving it. If your mix-in is also sweet (chocolate chips, anyone?), a dash more salt can balance out the flavor profile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> If you forget to set them out ahead of time, not to worry (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-room-temperature\/#:~:text=How%20to%20Get%20Eggs%20to%20Room%20Temperature&#038;text=Eggs%20that%20have%20warmed%20up,for%2010%20to%2015%20minutes.\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-room-temperature\/#:~:text=How%20to%20Get%20Eggs%20to%20Room%20Temperature&amp;text=Eggs%20that%20have%20warmed%20up,for%2010%20to%2015%20minutes.\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">here&#8217;s the best way to get eggs to room temperature<\/a>). Just don\u2019t skip this step. It\u2019s the difference between a perfectly creamy custard and a curdled base.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> Heavy cream is the hero in so many recipes, and for good reason. High in milk fat (between 36% and 40%), this is the magic ingredient that makes ice cream taste so rich. There&#8217;s a practical benefit too: Heavy whipping cream aerates the ice cream and also lowers the freezing point, making it easier to scoop.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evaporated milk:<\/strong> To stave off the undesirable icy, freezer-burn effect on homemade ice cream, evaporated milk is the answer. Not only that, but this dairy product (the result of sterilizing and heating cow\u2019s milk after the majority of water content is evaporated) also gives the ice cream a denser texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Just as you would use vanilla extract in banana bread, opt for this flavor enhancer in your banana ice cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ripe bananas:<\/strong> The riper the better. Not only will it make it easier for you to puree, but the banana flavor will also be more consistent in every bite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Assemble the pre-measured ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2059839\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Banana-Ice-Cream_TOHD24_38405_KristinaVanni_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Tempering Eggs for Banana ice cream\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA V\u00c4NNI for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To ensure your custard comes together well, and that you don\u2019t scald the half-and-half, it will be easiest to have everything measured and ready. Also be sure you choose the right size saucepan. For testing purposes, we used a 3-quart pan. This gives ample cooking space and also fits neatly into the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Now to begin your custard prep. First, place the eggs in a larger mixing bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Use a glass or metal bowl; do not use plastic due to the heat. In the saucepan, heat the half-and-half to 175\u00b0F, then stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Whisk a small amount of hot mixture into the eggs.<\/p>\n<p>Fill a heat-safe container (13&#215;9-inch Pyrex dish or similar) with ice water and set it in the sink. Return egg mixture to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160\u00b0 and coats the back of a metal spoon.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/i>Invest in a food thermometer to eliminate guesswork.

Cool quickly by placing the pan in the container of ice water; stir for two minutes. With a wire whisk, stir in the whipping cream, milk and vanilla.

Fill the cylinder of the ice cream freezer two-thirds full. Freeze according to manufacturer\u2019s directions. When ice cream is frozen, transfer it to a freezer container; freeze for two to four hours before serving.<\/p>\n<p><i>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/i>Refrigerate any remaining custard mixture until ready to freeze (it will keep for up to three days).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2059834\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Banana-Ice-Cream_TOHD24_38405_KristinaVanni_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Banana ice cream\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA V\u00c4NNI for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Banana Ice Cream Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make it Elvis-style:<\/strong> Peanut butter and banana is already a spectacular duo, but the King (see what we did there?) of all banana ice cream variations has got to be the one with a drizzle of honey and crunchy, salty, smoky bacon. Save the bacon crumbles for topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice it up:<\/strong> Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top (even better with a toasted crunchy topping like almonds or walnuts). For a dessert that is truly over the top and worthy of company, soak the nuts with plump golden raisins in bourbon or rum. Bonus: The alcohol won\u2019t freeze and will help to keep ice cream soft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a little crunch:<\/strong> Cacao nibs are a great way to add more texture, and they pack a big nutritional punch too. If you\u2019re feeling especially indulgent, upgrade your banana ice cream with chocolate-covered espresso beans. The ultimate in savory sweetness!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Banana Ice Cream<\/h2>\n<p>Take care to store your homemade ice cream in the correct containers. Rather than using the same ones you use to store and freeze soup, opt instead for insulated, silicone containers with tight-fitting lids.<\/p>\n<h2>How long does banana ice cream last?<\/h2>\n<p>For the freshest flavor, enjoy your homemade labor of love within a month.

If you have frozen bananas on hand (so easy to do\u2014bookmark our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-bananas\/#:~:text=Simply%20peel%20the%20bananas%2C%20place,to%20help%20you%20stay%20organized.)\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-freeze-bananas\/#:~:text=Simply%20peel%20the%20bananas%2C%20place,to%20help%20you%20stay%20organized.)\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to freeze bananas<\/a> primer for later), go for it. You definitely don\u2019t have to, though. Those overripe bananas on the counter will work just as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using fresh, overripe bananas, a blender works well. If you&#8217;re using frozen banana slices, however, it\u2019s best to use a food processor, unless you have a high-powered blender with a food processor setting. (<em>Psst!<\/em> Combo blenders are a game changer. These are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-blenders\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-blenders\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best blenders according to our Test Kitchen<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure the fruit is very ripe; overripe is even better. Remember how the starch converts to sugar as the banana ripens? For ice cream, this is exactly what you want. Using barely ripened bananas can produce a bitter taste. To encourage faster ripening, put bananas in a brown paper bag with the top folded over and set on the kitchen counter for a day or two.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I add sweetener to frozen bananas?<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re preparing your ice cream from frozen banana slices, keep in mind that freezing the fruit can make it a little bitter, so add a bit more sugar (or a liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup). Note that frozen bananas will also work best if you first allow them to thaw before blending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son-in-law says this is the best banana ice cream he\u2019s ever had.
