Servings: 8 cups
Calories: 672kcal
Equipment
- stand mixer optional
- hand mixer optional
- pastry blender optional, for mashing bananas
- nut chopper optional
Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream do not substitute half and half
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk do not substitute evaporated milk
- 2 large overripe bananas
- 1 cup chopped pecans optional
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup caramel sauce or topping
- ¾ cup sweetened flaked coconut optional
Instructions
- Add the overripe bananas into a bowl and use a pastry blender or forks to mash the bananas along with the chopped nuts until combined. Stir in the salt, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Add the cold heavy cream into a large bowl that has been chilled. Using cold beaters whip the cream until stiff peaks form. *Note - To whip the cream start the beaters on slow speed and increase the speed to high as the cream thickens.
- When stiff peaks have formed, add in the chilled sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream and beat for an additional 30 seconds to combine the ingredients.
- Switch to a spatula and gently fold the mashed banana and nut mixture, along with the coconut (If using) into the whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk, trying to retain as much volume to the ice cream base as possible.
- Pour the ice cream into a waiting ice cream freezer container and spoon the caramel sauce over the top of the ice cream. Gently fold the caramel into the ice cream base as desired.
- Place plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream and add the lid to the container. Freeze for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

Notes
