Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1.5 cups half-and-half

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine half-and-half, both sugars, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until sugars are dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and transfer 1/2 of the hot mixture to a large bowl. Add eggs to the bowl and whisk until well combined. Pour mixture back into the saucepan. Stir in cream.

Step 3

Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla.

Step 4

Pour cream mixture over a fine mesh sieve into a bowl; cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Stir mashed bananas into cooled cream mixture, then pour into an ice maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Fold crushed wafers into ice cream during the last 5 to 10 minutes of freezing.
