Banana Gelato image

Gelato, or Italian ice cream, tends to be lower in fat than ice cream, as it's made from milk with just a touch of cream. However, its texture is traditionally denser as it has less air beaten into it. Oddly enough, this gelato tastes like caramel and is great with toasted pecans. From Relish magazine. Freezing time is not included in prep time.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 3/4 cups whole milk
2 very ripe bananas, peeled and quartered
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
