Make sure you enter the giveaway for a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and two fabulous ice cream cookbooks so that you can join in on the ice cream fun!
My Contribution today is a Dairy free option. I made a Banana Ice Cream and instead of using cream or milk, I used coconut milk. I love the combination of Banana and coconut and thought this would be a great option for the people who are lactose intolerant.
This is also a great way to use up all those bananas that are a little too ripe. I usually save them for banana bread, but this is also an option.
The Hubster loved this and couldn’t wait to try it when I was taking the pictures. Infact, I am almost sure he has polished it off by now.
Monkey Girl thought it was ok, but she is kind of a purist when it comes to ice cream. To be honest, I don’t think she has completely gotten over the time that I added black beans to the brownies and don’t tell her until she was way into her second piece.
I loved it to when I first made it and it was kind of at the soft serve stage. After I put it in the freezer to harden up, I just wasnt feeling it. It didnt seem as creamy to me, I am not sure why.
Anyway for all you guys out there that are lactose intolerant, or know someone who is, you should make this. If you are also inclined you probably could modify the recipe and make this without sugar.
If you’d like to check out today’s #IceCreamWeek recipes, drool over the blogs below:
Banana Ice Cream
Ingredients:
- 2 cans coconut milk (set aside 1/2 cup)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped out
- 1/2 cup vanilla sugar
- pinch sea salt
- 2 large very ripe bananas frozen
Directions:
Whisk the cornstarch and 1/2 cup coconut milk together until there are no lumps. Set aside
In a medium saucepan heat the remaining coconut milk, vanilla bean, vanilla sugar and salt. Heat until bubbles develop on the edges of the pan. Add the cornstarch mixture slowly and continue cooking until mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the custard from the heat and allow to chill overnight.
This is a good time to also put your bowl to the ice cream maker in the freezer for tomorrow.
The following day, add the frozen bananas to the food processor and puree until smooth. Remove the vanilla bean from the custard mixture and add the bananas. Process in a Ice Cream maker. Let it churn according to manufacturer instructions. Place in a sealed container and keep frozen until ready to serve.
