For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. Don't skip the roasting step! It deepens the banana flavor and adds a subtle caramel note. If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey, or even dark rum. Chilling the ice cream base thoroughly is crucial for a smooth, creamy texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPeel the bananas, cut into 2-3 chunks, and freeze until completely solid (at least 2 hours).
02
StepPreheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the frozen banana pieces in a small baking dish and drizzle with the melted butter. (5 minutes)
03
StepRoast the bananas in the preheated oven until they are softened and lightly browned, approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and mash the roasted bananas thoroughly in a bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until cold (at least 1 hour).
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and bourbon whiskey until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the heavy cream into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer, watching carefully to prevent boiling. (10 minutes)
06
StepTemper the egg mixture by gradually whisking about 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture, adding it one tablespoon at a time to prevent curdling. Once tempered, pour the warmed egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. (5 minutes)
07
StepCook the custard over medium-low heat, constantly whisking, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches a temperature of 170-180°F (77-82°C). Stir in the chilled mashed bananas. (10-15 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the ice cream base to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (4 hours - overnight)
09
StepPour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. (20-30 minutes)
10
StepOnce churned, the ice cream will be soft. Transfer it to a lidded container and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour, before serving.
