Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters. Place them in a medium bowl along with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir well and let them macerate for 10 minutes.
Peel and slice the bananas into thin rounds. Add the bananas to the bowl with the strawberries and mix gently to combine.
Transfer the strawberry-banana mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Slowly pour the strawberry-banana puree into the cream mixture, stirring continuously to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Chop the roasted peanuts into small pieces. Fold half of the chopped peanuts into the ice cream mixture, reserving the rest for topping later.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturerβs instructions, typically around 20-25 minutes.
Once the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a lidded, freezer-safe container. Sprinkle the reserved chopped peanuts on top.
Cover and freeze for at least 2-4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Scoop into bowls or cones, decorate with additional peanuts if desired, and serve immediately.
