This is probably my personal favorite and crowd favorite icecream recipe that I make during the holidays. Everyone always asks me to make them a batch to take home.

1.5 C whole milk
2.5 C heavy cream divided in 2
3/4 C white sugar
1/4 tsp table salt
5 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla
2 large or 3 medium very ripe bananas pureed
Mini vanilla wafers – measure with your heart
Cool whip – measure with your heart

Put whole milk and half of the heavy cream in a sauce pan with sugars and salt on medium heat. Cook until sugars are fully dissolved.

Pour half of the hot mixture slowly into a bowl with the egg yolks whisking to gradually bring them up to temp, making sure they don't scramble, then pour it all back into the sauce pan. Continue to stir on medium until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and stir in the banana puree. You'll need to push this through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl with the rest of the heavy cream and vanilla. Mix to combine and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Once cold then add to your icecream mixer for 30 minutes until soft set icecream forms then fold in remaining ingredients and freeze overnight.

    It looks great!!!! Silly question, when having “chunky” ingredients like the wafers, or idk, nuts, chocolate chips etc, do you add them to the ice cream maker? Or are they added afterwards? I’m afraid something might get stuck
