ITALIAN BANANA DREAM
4 bananas
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 egg yolks
½ can sweetened condensed milk
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ pt whipping cream
½ pt whole milk
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp vanilla
This is a dense very flavorful Italian ice cream. This one is so good it might create a new banana growing industry in
Italy
. The secret to this recipe is to use very ripe bananas. If they are slightly over-ripe, that is even better. Crush bananas and add lemon juice and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, whipping cream and whole milk. Then add salt and vanilla extract. Freeze this mix in an ice cream freezer and when thick add the prepared bananas and continue to freeze. This is best when served very cold. It has extraordinary flavor and "mouthfeel". *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella from uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.
JALAPENO MINT ICE CREAM:
For you jalapeno lovers:
Start with slicing open 1-3 ripe jalapeno chile peppers (depending on your macho rating), remove the placenta and seeds, and chop them very fine. Then add them to a batch of the Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream, also adding 1 tsp of mint extract. Let the mix age in the refrigerator for at least four hours before freezing. Mucho Bueno!!!
