Ingredients

  • 2 over ripe bananas (mashed with a fork)
  • 1 cup Nilla wafers (cut into quarters (you can crumble if you want them finer))
  • cups half and half
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a saucepan combine the half and half, brown sugar, white sugar, and salt. Stir a few minutes over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Take saucepan off heat. Place the already beaten eggs in to a bowl. Gradually whisk in about half of the sugar mixture to the eggs. It is important to go slow with this so that the eggs do not cook.
  • Pour egg mixture into the saucepan with the half and half that remained in the saucepan. Stir in cream.
  • Cook mixture over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. Stir frequently.
  • Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • After your mixture has cooled, stir in the mashed bananas and pour into your ice cream maker (I used this one). Freeze according to your manufacturer's instructions. About 5 minutes before the end of the freeze time, add the Nilla wafers.
  • If you think the ice cream is too soft, transfer to your container and set in freezer for another 1-2 hours.
