Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Banana Bourbon Ice Cream.
Step 1
Start by peeling your very ripe bananas and cutting them into 2 or 3 chunks. Pop them into the freezer until they're solid, which will help enhance their flavor when roasted.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the bananas are frozen, place them in a baking dish and drizzle with melted butter, letting the warmth of the oven work its magic.
Step 3
Roast the bananas in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned and caramelized. Once done, mash the bananas in a bowl and let them chill in the refrigerator.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, white sugar, brown sugar, and bourbon whiskey until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will add a lovely depth of flavor to your ice cream.
Step 5
Next, pour the heavy cream into a heavy saucepan and heat it over medium-low until it just begins to simmer. Take about 1 cup of this hot cream and slowly whisk it into the egg mixture, adding it one tablespoon at a time. This gradual process helps temper the eggs, preventing them from scrambling.
Step 6
Once combined, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream. Keep whisking over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens and is almost boiling. Stir in the mashed bananas, allowing their sweet flavor to infuse the cream.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait! This step is crucial for developing the flavors.
Step 8
When you're ready to make your ice cream, pour the chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, pack it into a lidded container and freeze until firm, which should take at least an hour.
