Ingredients for Banana Cinnamon Ice Cream

  • Half And Half
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • Mashed Banana
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ground Cinnamon

How to Make Banana Cinnamon Ice Cream

  1. **Method 1: Ice Cream Maker**
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until completely smooth.
  3. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-30 minutes).
  5. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further.
  6. **Method 2: No-Churn (Fridge-Freezer Method)**
  7. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until completely smooth.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mashed bananas.
  10. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  11. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  12. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the ice cream to set completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
