Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Dark chocolate chunks
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a banana puree.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the sugar has fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the banana puree to the cream mixture and whisk until everything is well combined.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely chilled.

Step 5

Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes about 20–25 minutes.

Step 6

During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the dark chocolate chunks to the ice cream so they are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until the ice cream has set to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Scoop and serve the Banana Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream in bowls or cones. Enjoy!
