Banana Gelato

A sweet and creamy Banana Gelato recipe. Adapted from the Seasons and Celebrations Cookbook

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups skim milk
  • 3 very ripe bananas peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Bring milk, bananas and brown sugar to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Let cool 5 minutes, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return mixture to the saucepan; set over very low heat to keep warm.
  • Beat egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer at high speed until thick.
  • Gradually beat half the milk mixture into the yolk mixture. Return mixture to the saucepan. Set over low heat and cook until thick and bubbling, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla, salt, and cream.
  • Pour into a large container. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Pour mixture into the canister of an ice-cream freezer (I own this Cuisinart model and have been really happy with it!)
  • Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve or store in freezer in an air-tight container.
