I see lots and lots AND LOTS of no-churn ice cream recipes. They are everywhere! And I understand why they are so super popular. Not everyone has an ice cream churn! So I get it. I totally do.

But.

Some of us have ice cream churns AKA ice cream makers.

And with all those no-churn recipes to satisfy that homemade ice cream craving, I was starting to feel left out with all my churning ways. I need recipes, too! Dang.

It’s like the old fashioned version of those self-serve fro-yo shops, except better X 1000.

I can make things like Cookie Dough Ice Cream, Homemade Sun Drop Slush! Or Strawberry Pie Ice Cream. Or this Banana Split Ice Cream with fresh bananas and pineapples, cherries, nuts, and chocolate!

All the fresh fruit in this is blowing my mind.

It tastes JUST LIKE a banana split – but you get all the flavor in one scoop instead of trying to figure out how you will manage an ice cream dish the size of a small watercraft.

Instructions

• Mash the bananas and sugar together, then stir in the cream, milk, and vanilla. Whisk the mixture well for a minute or two.
• Stir in the pineapple, cherries, nuts and chocolate, and then place the mixture in the freezer for at least two hours.
• Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning.
• Serve immediately or store in the freezer.

Tips

1. I like to mix everything in a large pitcher so I can easily pour/scrape the chilled mixture into the canister of my ice cream maker.
2. I use a countertop ice cream maker and I love it! But it requires 2 things: a)the canister needs to be frozen prior to adding the chilled mixture to it to churn. I keep the clean canister stored in the freezer so it's ready whenever I need it! b)because this ice cream churn is on the smaller side and the volume of the ice cream increases as it churns, I usually add the mix to the canister in two batches so there's no mess. I store the churned ice cream in a freezer safe container.
