Banana
Ice Cream Recipe

Banana ice cream is a great fruit ice cream. Its fresh flavor tastes just like a banana split! The banana not only provides a great taste, but also produces a soft, creamy texture.

Making this homemade ice cream is a great way to use up some of those ripe bananas you have hanging around in your kitchen before they go bad!

Serving Tip: To complete the "banana split taste", here's a fun idea. Serve this ice cream with a fruit fondue! Dip fresh fruit into the fondue and place on ice cream or simply use hot chocolate or caramel fondue as a delicious topping!
