Go Bananas

With ice cream so good, how can you not go crazy for this recipe?

I must admit, banana flavor desserts are not always the best, but when they are done right, the results are exquisite. I had to give the chef’s kiss while typing this.

Furthermore, just thinking about banana dessert done right is making my mouth water, especially some good banana pudding. Oh, and we can forget about banana bread.

Additionally, all those desserts are great, but they are complete once you eat them with some banana ice cream, especially when that ice cream is made with this no-churn homemade banana ice cream recipe.

Growing up, I had mixed emotions about eating bananas. Sometimes the banana would taste great, and other times the taste of the banana would seem a little off.

As I got older, I realized that bananas are at their best when they have ripened a little. Whenever you eat a banana that tastes kind of bland, then it is a possibility that that banana is not ripped enough.

How Do You Know When Bananas Are Ripped Enough To Eat?

You can tell if a banana is good enough to eat just by looking at it. If the banana is green, then the banana is not ripped enough.

Personally, I like my bananas to have a little brown on them. The ripper the banana, the sweeter it is, and ripped bananas are perfect for this no-churn homemade banana ice cream recipe.

Who Invented Banana Ice Cream?

We got to go back to talk about this one. The invention of this ice cream goes all the way back to 1907. Allegedly, a guy named Ernest R. Hazard supposedly invented the banana split.
