Time 6h45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cornflakes, crushed, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons honey
3 pints vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Steps:

Sprinkle the inside of an 8-by-4-inch (6-cup capacity) loaf pan with water (to help plastic stick to pan). Line pan with two sheets of plastic wrap; crisscross, leaving a 6-inch overhang on all sides. In a small bowl, combine crushed cornflakes and cinnamon.
Sprinkle half the cornflake mixture in bottom of pan; drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey. Top with half the ice cream; spread gently to flatten. Repeat with remaining cornflake mixture, honey, and ice cream.
Fold plastic overhang over ice cream, and freeze until firm, 6 hours or up to 4 days. To serve, unfold plastic; invert pan onto a plate, and peel off plastic. Top with more crushed cornflakes, if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice cream loaf will be.
Freeze your bananas ahead of time: This will make them easier to blend and will help to create a creamier texture.
Use a powerful blender or food processor: You'll need a powerful blender or food processor to get the bananas smooth and creamy.
Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add all sorts of mix-ins to your ice cream loaf, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or fruit.
Freeze your ice cream loaf for at least 4 hours before serving: This will give it time to firm up and develop its flavor.
