Banana Ice Cream

So Adam got me the Ice cream maker attachment for my kitchen-aid mixer as a birthday present. So for my birthday we made Food Network's Alton Brown vanilla ice cream recipe for the family get together.


This week, I researched various types and flavors of ice cream to make for our next test batch. I ended up settling on Banana. Adam had gotten a banana milkshake a few weeks ago so I knew he'd like it.


It made up in the ice cream maker quickly, however took its time setting up in the freezer. However, it tastes amazing and was a wonderfully delicious idea!  :o)


This is the recipe I used:


Banana Ice Cream

2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup purée bananas
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, eggs, sugar and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Refrigerate the mixture until cool. Combine the cooled custard with the bananas, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour into freezer container. Freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions
