Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds. Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours, or until they are solid.
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a food processor or blender. Blend until they reach a smooth consistency.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the pure vanilla extract and lemon juice to the milk mixture and stir well.
Combine the blended bananas with the milk mixture, stirring until thoroughly mixed.
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20 to 25 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the surface with plastic wrap before sealing the container. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for another 2 to 4 hours until firm.
Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade creamy banana ice cream!
