Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a banana puree.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Add the banana puree to the cream mixture and whisk until everything is well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20–25 minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the dark chocolate chunks to the ice cream so they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until the ice cream has set to your desired consistency.
Scoop and serve the Banana Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy!
