Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 4 ripe bananas Fully yellow for best results.
  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar Adds depth and caramel flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For richness.
  • 1 cup whole milk Balances the creaminess.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A pinch enhances sweetness.

Equipment

  • Non-Stick Skillet
  • blender
  • Ice Cream Maker
  • pint container

Method
 

Caramelizing and Blending
  1. In a medium non-stick skillet set over medium heat, add sliced ripe bananas along with turbinado sugar and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring gently until golden brown and caramelized. Let cool slightly.
  2. Transfer the cooled caramelized bananas to a blender. Pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and a dash of cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
  3. Place the blended mixture in the refrigerator to chill until below 40°F (about 1-2 hours).
  4. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to machine’s instructions until soft-serve consistency (about 20-25 minutes).
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a pint container, smooth the top, seal tightly, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Notes

Use fully ripe bananas for optimal sweetness. If turbinado sugar is unavailable, brown sugar works well. Always refrigerate the ice cream base until below 40°F for best texture.
