Got a couple of over ripe bananas being neglected at the bottom of your fruit bowl? Well if you don’t, go buy some banana’s and make this in a couple days. I figured it was time to branch out with my culinary endeavors into the realm of dessert, and why not start with ice cream? However, I can’t take full credit for this recipe. It’s straight out of the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream book, so if you don’t like it, you know who to blame.
What you need:
All the ingredients, minus the eggs, sugar, and 2 Hershey bars.
- Ice cream maker, or an alternative method of making ice cream. Google it
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 over ripe bananas
- 1 lemon (juice only)
- 4 Hershey’s chocolate bars
Yeah, I have fancy ice cream bowls. You wanna fight about it?
Ben & Jerry’s Sweet Cream base:
Whisk together your eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of sugar at a time when you mix. Then add your cream and milk and mix all of it together. Follow the instructions for whatever method of ice cream making you are using to freeze the ice cream. With an ice cream maker it usually takes about 30 minutes for it to freeze.
Banana and Chocolate mixture:
Mash up your two over ripe bananas. Squeeze the juice out of your lemon, and strain out the pulp and seeds. Mix the two of them together. Chop up your Hershey bars and add them in to the banana mixture and stir.

When the ice cream is almost done with the freezing process, add the banana and chocolate mixture and mix it up. Let it continue the freezing process for a few more minutes. Even when the “freezing process” is completed, the ice cream is still usually pretty soft, so dig in if you want, but I put mine in a container and froze it for a few more hours before indulging. Enjoy.
