Cuisine: British
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup crushed digestive biscuits
- Chocolate shavings for topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mashed ripe bananas and sweetened condensed milk until completely smooth and well combined.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana and condensed milk mixture, ensuring you maintain the air and volume of the cream.
- Crush digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Fold approximately half of the crushed digestive biscuits into the ice cream mixture, reserving the remaining crumbs for topping.
- Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop into serving dishes, sprinkle with remaining digestive biscuit crumbs and chocolate shavings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Banoffee Pie Ice Cream.
Tips
- Choose very ripe bananas for maximum flavor and natural sweetness
- Ensure your cream is cold before whipping for the best volume and texture
- Use a metal loaf pan for more even freezing and easier scooping
- For extra richness, add a drizzle of caramel sauce before the final freeze
- If the mixture is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving
- For a more adult version, add a splash of rum or coffee liqueur to the mixture
- Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals
