Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 2-3 hours or until solid.
In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen banana slices, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.
Once the mixture is smooth, transfer it to a mixing bowl and fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-safe container and spread it out evenly. Cover with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Scoop the banana chocolate chip ice cream into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade frozen treat!
