Ingredients

  • 3 Medium-sized Ripe Bananas
  • 1/3 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter, Cut Into Small Pieces
  • 5-1/2 cups Whole Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 5-1/2 teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 teaspoons Coarse Salt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Peel, then slice the bananas into 1/2 inch pieces. Put bananas into a lightly greased baking and dish toss the bananas with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.
  • Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven until the bananas are browned and cooked through. Stir once during baking.
  • Transfer the bananas along with the caramelized syrup into a blender.
  • Add milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and salt. Puree until smooth.
  • Refrigerate the mixture for 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
  • Note: If the mixture is too thick after refrigeration, then whisk it out before you put it in the ice cream maker.
  • Put into your ice cream maker and churn according to your manufacturer's instructions.
  • The original recipe says it yields a quart but it turned out to be 2 to 2 1/2 cups for me.
