• Making it tonight for the second time- added peanut butter in the mix
    The first time I had most of it with choc chips, had a bit left over before placing in cuisinart so added peanut butter. Both delicious. So creamy, smooth tasty no icicles love it. Didnt last long.5 stars

  • So excited to try this! I just wanted to ask, what can i used instead of Vodka? What does this do to the recipe? Will await your reply before i get mixing!

    1. Hi Steph! If you prefer not to include alcohol, you can omit it and set the ice cream out 15 minutes prior to serving to give it additional time to soften. I hope you enjoy it!

  • This is some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. My fiancé requested banana ice cream and absolutely loved this. I don’t love bananas, and even I couldn’t get enough of this. It was so creamy!5 stars

  • Just made this for the first time today — coincidentally, I’m pairing it with David Lebovitz’s Devil’s Food Chocolate Ice Cream for a party tomorrow (it’s like a frozen chocolate truffle…so good!). This banana ice cream is perfect on it’s own, though. I have no doubt my guests will love it!5 stars

  • I want to make this but I don’t have an ice cream maker. Is there any other way I can make this?

    1. Hi Bela! I’ve only made this recipe with an ice cream maker, so I am not able to tell you any other way. If you decided to try it out, let me know how it goes!

  • Hey I am going to be making this recipe tomorrow. Is it alright if I use Everclear instead of vodka? It’s the 151 proof one.

  • Instructions are too verbose and don’t contain the summary of ingredients, and the measurements for each. It’s almost like she is forcing us to read all of her words.

    1. There is a recipe card in the post that has all of the instructions. There is also a “jump to recipe” button right at the top of the page on the right hand side to help you get there faster. Hope this helps!

  • Really good recipe. There were 2 things I did differently 1) I threw an extra yolk in just because I like a richer custard and 2) I used banana liqueur which I had left over from my Bananas Foster days.

  • This is a wonderful recipe. I had trouble with the custard the first time I made it because I’d never made custard before. I slightly scrambled the eggs and had to start that part over wasting the eggs, milk and cream. Not being much of a cook I felt I needed an extra hand for that part and now I get by husband to help. He does so gladly knowing what the end result will be. I put dark rum and chocolate into it.

  • Hi Erin

    Where is the video on how to make this ice cream. I’m struggling to find it. There are a lot of ads on your page?

    1. Hi Melissa! The video is located under the first photo 2-3 paragraphs down. I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience the ads caused you! I will certainly keep paying close attention to the number of ads and how they load, as I never want them to hinder your ability to view the recipe or the blog post. I do truly appreciate your feedback and apologize again for the inconvenience! Also there is a quick and convenient “jump to recipe” button that will help you get to the recipe faster plus a print button so you can have the recipe quickly at your fingertips. Hope this helps!

      1. Thank you so much Erin for your reply. I was able to finally locate the video. I saw the recipe as well but I’m more of a visually learner LoL. I made this last night and I’m currently waiting until I get off work, get comfortable, skip dinner and head straight for the ice cream! The sample that I tried was out of this world. I added caramel, chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces Eeeekk!!5 stars

  • i dont meed your your life atlry, what i do need is amd i gredients list with quantities clearly defined. Try again

    1. Hi Roxanne, I’m confused because I see it on my end. The full recipe with the measurements was right in the recipe card above the area where you commented. There is also a “jump to recipe” button at the top of the page as well to help get you to the recipe card faster. Can you please double check? Thanks!

  • This is a fantastic recipe! We have made it several times, and the last one I added some cinnamon. Perfect to serve in a waffle bowl for a little extra to the presentation!5 stars

  • Question: If I use vanilla extract instead of rum/vodka, will that work? The vanilla is homemade so it’s been sitting in vodka anyway.

    1. Hi Matt, since the recipe already calls for vanilla extract, I’m not sure it would be necessary to double that amount. I haven’t tried it myself with 2 tablespoons of extract, so if you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!

  • Hi Erin,

    I can’t wait to try this. I always like to watch the recipe video first and can’t find the video.
    The post says that it is right above the recipe, but it isn’t there. Could you please sent it to me?
    My family loves your recipes!

    Heidi

    1. Hi Heidi! If you scroll down the blog post a bit, you’ll see the video pop up right below the paragraph starting with, “I know that one-ingredient…” I hope this helps!

  • This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! It turned out perfectly, I wouldn’t change a thing.5 stars

  • Banana ice cream is my favorite flavor and hard to find in the USA.;) I grew up in Germany and we just enjoyed enormous amounts while vacationing there a few weeks ago.

    This recipe is top notch and tastes even better than in the Eisdiele. ;)

    I didn’t add the alcohol because I didn’t have any and because my kids are enjoying this with me.5 stars

  • My husband requested a “banana pudding” ice cream. I decided to give this recipe a try, swapping cool whip and vanilla wafers for the mix ins. It was delicious. It has since been requested for several family events and bbqs. I’m looking forward to making it again with the chocolate. Love this ice cream! Great recipe5 stars

  • I have bananas growing in my yard in Hawaii. The batter tasted great – except there is too much rum. I obliterates the banana flavor. And it’s a waste of good chocolate.4 stars
