Homemade Banana Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe

You can’t go wrong with Homemade Banana Ice Cream! It’s just so creamy, dreamy, delicious!

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

Each time I eat homemade ice cream, I’m reminded how worth it it is to take the time to make it. It’s just on a whole other level from store bought ice cream. You can taste the freshness and rich, creaminess that makes it so incredibly delicious.

Sure, it’s a process, but once you go down that homemade ice cream path, it becomes harder to resist making it than it is to actually make it. You just crave that homemade frozen comfort.

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

My grandma and now my mom have been making this banana ice cream for us for as long as I can remember. You say banana ice cream and I can just taste the delicious memories with family and friends over the years.

That old-fashioned ice cream maker has churned out so many batches of the most beautiful banana ice cream that everyone literally goes bananas over.

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

It really isn’t that hard to make. One time and you’ll be a homemade ice cream making pro.

After heating the ice cream base to cook the eggs, you’ll pour the mixture into the ice cream maker can and surround it with ice and rock salt (per mixer instructions) before letting it churn into a thick creamy ice cream dream.

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

Here are some old-fashioned ice cream maker tips:

  • use rock salt or ice cream salt – found at most grocery stores near the kosher salt or at some hardware stores
  • never fill the ice cream can more than 3/4 full or it will become overcrowded as it freezes and your ice cream will turn out grainy
  • most ice cream makers recommend an ice to salt ratio of three to one
  • the handle within the can will become more and more difficult to turn as the ice cream freezes and when it stops, that means the ice cream is done
  • wipe the top of the can clean of any ice or salt before opening to scoop the ice cream out. You don’t want that rock salt flavor to get in the ice cream.
  • leave ice cream can in the maker surrounded by the ice and salt to serve or remove the can and scoop the ice cream into a freezer safe container to serve or store

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

It’s one of those desserts that our family and friends look forward to and pretty much expect at all of our gatherings. Be it 4th of July, a birthday, an anniversary or just a casual Sunday supper, we all go crazy over it.

It’s so creamy and full of fresh banana flavor. I love the occasional little chunks of frozen banana throughout.

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

So pull out the ice cream maker and grab a bunch of ripe bananas. The best banana ice cream you’ll ever eat awaits you.

Enjoy!

xoxo,

Description

You can’t go wrong with Homemade Banana Ice Cream! It’s just so creamy, dreamy, delicious!


Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups evaporated milk
  • 1 (4 ounce) box vanilla Junket ice cream mix
  • 2 cups non dairy creamer (it’s a powder)
  • 6 ripe bananas, mashed

Instructions

  1. Use at least a 4 quart old-fashioned ice cream maker or a modern ice maker according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the bowl of the ice cream maker requires chilling beforehand, be sure to place the bowl in the freezer the night before.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a large heavy saucepan, heat evaporated milk over medium-low heat until just barely simmering, stirring frequently. Turn heat to low.
  4. Slowly whisk the egg/sugar mixture into the hot evaporated milk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined. Turn heat back to medium-low and continue to stir continuously until mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the vanilla junket and non dairy creamer. Fold in the mashed bananas.
  6. Pour mixture into the ice cream maker can. Freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  7. Once ice cream is frozen, serve immediately or spoon into a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer until ready to serve.

      Yes, we’ve always used the whole egg and the texture of the ice cream is perfectly rich and creamy without any ice crystals. Enjoy!

Now here's a pie for the 4th of July! 🇺🇸😍 Now here's a pie for the 4th of July! 🇺🇸😍 This American Flag inspired pie is as delicious as it is easy to create! All the details are listed below. ENJOY! 😋🇺🇸🥧🎉 #TheBakerMama

Ingredients:

4 ready-to-bake pie crusts
3 (20 oz) cans cherry pie filling
1 (20 oz) can blueberry pie filling
1 egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sparkling sugar

Instructions:

1. Let the pie crusts set out at room temperature for 10 min before using.
2. Spray a 12” x 17” rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Using 3 of the pie crusts, fill the baking sheet completely with the dough. Cut the dough as necessary to cover the sheet pan.
4. Trim the dough even with the edge of the sheet pan and flute the edges.
5. Cut the excess dough into 12 stars using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.
6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the remaining pie crust into ½-inch wide strips.
7. Use one of the long strips to create a small rectangle barrier in the top left corner of the sheet pan.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stars and stripes of dough.
9. Fill the large area completely with cherry pie filling.
10. Fill the small rectangle with blueberry pie filling.
11. Create 5 stripes on top of the cherry pie filling with the long strips of dough.
12. Arrange the stars on top of the blueberry pie filling.
13. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the remaining egg wash.
14. Sprinkle the stars and stripes with sparkling sugar.
15. Place the prepared pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill before baking.
16. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450°F.
17. Bake the pie for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie start to brown before the stars and stripes, cover the edges with foil and continue baking until the crusts on top of the pie are golden brown.
18. Let the pie set for about 10 minutes before slicing into and serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
