Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Bananas
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds. Place the sliced bananas in a bowl and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced bananas, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no banana chunks remaining.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level if needed. Blend again briefly if any adjustments are made.
Pour the mixture into a large airtight container and place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Once chilled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours to break up ice crystals until the texture becomes smooth and creamy.
Once the ice cream reaches the desired consistency, transfer it to a lidded container for storage. Freeze for an additional hour if you prefer a firmer texture.
Serve the Banana Cinnamon Ice Cream in bowls or cones, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Enjoy immediately!
