BANANA CREAM PIE NO-CHURN ICE CREAM



Banana Cream Pie No-Churn Ice Cream image

This no-churn ice cream doesn't require any cooking or special equipment. All you have to do is mash up some bananas and whip some heavy cream. The whipped cream mimics the air that's incorporated into traditional ice cream when it's churning in an ice cream machine. For the strongest flavor, use really, really ripe bananas; mushy, bruised ones with black peels will work well. Large crumbles of vanilla wafers stirred into the ice cream and sprinkled on top add crunch.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 10m

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas), peeled
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups/600 milliliters heavy cream
25 vanilla wafer cookies (about 85 grams), broken into coarse pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, use a large fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas well. Add the condensed milk and mash again until the two are well combined. The mixture should be fairly smooth and only slightly lumpy.
  • Using a silicone spatula, stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment or a handheld mixer, whip the heavy cream to medium peaks. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the banana mixture and stir with the spatula to fully combine. (This lightens the mixture, making it easier to fold in the remaining whipped cream without losing too much aeration.)
  • Add the remaining whipped cream in 2 to 3 additions, folding gently just to combine. Add all but 3 tablespoons of the crumbled wafer cookies to the mixture and gently fold them in until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-by-9-inch pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved vanilla wafers evenly on top. Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap into the surface of the ice cream, and transfer to the freezer.
  • Freeze the mixture until firm, at least 6 hours. Before serving, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

MAYAN BANANA "ICE CREAM" PIE



Mayan Banana

This is loosely based on a dessert I love, my mom 's frozen peanut butter pie. Of course, I adore Haagen Dazs Mayan chocolate ice cream, too, so I thought I would try to combine the 2. You may not need the full half cup of butter for the crust, but I live at high altitude and its super dry, so I need it all!! The chocolate chips can be adjusted based on how chocolate-y you want it, but when it's frozen, it is best to have the mini ones! I may say it serves 8, but my boyfriend thinks it should only serve 2... haha Cook Time is Freezing Time

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 quart/2 pints butter pecan, dulce de leche or chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
255 g (9 0z) prepared graham cracker crust
3 med bananas, unpeeled
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)

Remove and discard peels from bananas. Cut bananas into pieces; stir into hot sauce. Cut pie into serving pieces; spoon sauce over each serving.

Tips:

  • For a creamier pie, use ripe bananas.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher.
  • Be sure to chill the pie crust before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought graham cracker crust.
