    List of Ingredients




    2/3 cup sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 1/2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1 1/4 cups whole milk
    2 large very ripe bananas
    1 cup light cream
    1 tsp. vanilla extract

    Recipe



    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until thickened and pale yellow. Beat in the flour and salt. Set aside.

    Bring the milk to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan. Slowly beat the hot milk into the eggs and sugar. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wood spoon until the custard thickens slightly. Be careful not to let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large, clean bowl.

    Mash the bananas with the back of a fork until they are creamy or puree them in a food processor. Add the banana puree to the hot custard and mix well. Allow the banana custard to cool slightly. Stir in the cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.

    Stir and then freeze in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturers instructions. It will be soft but ready to eat. For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.

    You can also add banana liqueur - 2 Tablespoons with the vanilla but I never have and it tastes fine to me.
