Chocolate Chunk Banana Ice Cream

Chocolate Chunk Banana Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 pint milk
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 vanilla bean, split or 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup chopped bananas
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Place the body of your electric ice cream maker into the freezer overnight to be completely frozen to freeze the ice cream.
2. In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, and 1 cup of the sugar. Scrape the seeds of the vanilla bean into the cream mix and add in the bean itself, or add 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Bring to a light boil over medium high heat, watching carefully so the mixture doesn't boil over. Remove from the heat.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and whisk in 1 cup of the hot cream mixture. Gradually add the egg mixture back into the pot of cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon or reaches 170 degrees F, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and place in the fridge in a container to cool for about 3 hours.
4. After you put together the ice cream maker, turn it on and pour in the cream mixture, letting it churn for about 20 - 25 minutes, according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir in the banana and chocolate when the ice cream is 3/4 of the way frozen.
