Banana Icecream

[cookie1]

Banana Icecream:
Serves-quite a few:
Ingredients:

3 large or 4 small ripe bananas
1 cup thickened cream
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup milk -I used low fat, not skim
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

Break the bananas up and place with all the other ingredients into the   Mix for 10 seconds on speed 6.
Place into the freezer in a large shallow container. When the edges begin to set (about 2 hours) take out of freezer, break into pieces and place in the and beat again. When beaten again place into a container and leave to set overnight.

Tips/Hints:
This icecream is really hard so I take it out of the freezer as we sit down to our main meal. It softens a bit and is easier to serve.

davemack - Just made this - well… I made something similar based on this recipe… I had some frozen bananas, so I added ½ cup thickened cream, 60 grams sugar and a dash of vanilla extract…  I think I could do better by blitzing the sugar first, but it was great just the same…I think next time I will swap out the cream for yoghurt and add a little Malt & Honey next time… Delicious!

Hally - Threw everything in at once in TM. 30 mins in ice cream machine. Tasted it before it went to the freezer. Another great ice-cream.

Thanks for the recipe Cookie, on my to do list.  I microwave my icecream for up to 20 seconds to make it easier to scoop into the cones, wonder if this method would work for home-made ice-cream.

Thanks cookie - sound great.  I wonder if whipping the cream first and then folding remainder in before freezing would give a lighter texture?

Might have to try it with coconut milk.  Yummo.

Thermomixer, you have some awesome ideas. Coconut milk would taste delicious in this.

Did you guys see the Instant Banana ice cream in the Veg book? Awesome texture and as long as you have frozen some bananas, INSTANT!

Thanks Tenina - I'll have to check it out.

Has anyone worked out a banana icecream recipe that scoops from the freezer like the traditional recipe from the EDC?
