Ingredients
- 2 over ripe bananas, mashed with a fork
- 1 cup Nilla wafers, cut into quarters (you can crumble if you want them finer)
- 1½ cups half and half
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1½ 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.
