Banana Boat Ice Cream is a delicious treat that’s perfect for a hot day. It’s typically made with banana-flavored ice cream and can be served in a variety of ways, often featuring a combination of other ingredients like chocolate syrup, nuts, whipped cream, and maraschino cherries.
Here’s a simple recipe to make your own Banana Boat Ice Cream at home:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, sprinkles
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bananas: Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Mix the Base: In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Combine: Add the mashed bananas to the cream mixture and stir until well combined.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes until it reaches a creamy consistency (usually about 2-3 hours).
- Serve: Scoop the banana ice cream into bowls or cones. Add your favorite toppings like chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and sprinkles.
