Equipment
- 1/2 gallon ice cream machine
Ingredients
- 8 cups whole milk
- 1 12oz can evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 large bananas mashed
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers about 1/2 an 11oz box of cookies
Instructions
- Mash bananas with a fork or potato masher and crush vanilla wafers using a food processor or a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except vanilla wafers and pour the mixture into your ice cream machine.
- Allow machine to churn until it's not able to turn anymore. (My machine takes about 30 min.) For a thicker consistency, allow the churned ice cream to sit in the machine, packed in ice, for another 20-30 min.
- Stir the crushed vanilla wafers into the churned ice cream before serving immediately.
Notes
*Homemade ice cream is best when it is first made. If necessary, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks. However, once frozen, the ice cream will have an icy, hard texture. You will need to thaw it about 10 minutes before eating.
