While bananas foster is traditionally served hot with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, why not reverse that by putting the bananas foster in the ice cream? It's easy to make, not a common flavor by any means, and is perfect for a personal dessert or serving to guests.
Ingredients
Fruit: Of course, you're going to need some Bananas!
Liquids: You'll need some Whole Milk, Salted butter, Banana Liqueur, and Vanilla Extract. (See expert tips)
Herbs, Spices, and Seasonings: I like to use Dark Brown Sugar, Sugar, Ground Cinnamon, and a box of Sonic Banana Shake Pudding Mix.
Extras: You'll need some cream cheese! (See expert tips)
See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, melt the butter on low heat in a large cast iron skillet. Once the butter has melted and bubbled, increase the heat to medium-high and add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, banana liqueur, and cinnamon.
Stir the mixture together and allow it to thicken a bit. Next, add the sliced bananas and stir, ensuring they are fully covered by the sugar and liqueur mixture. Cook until the bananas begin to brown and wilt.
Once your Bananas Foster is done, it's time to make the ice cream.
This is the super easy part!
Place the glass pitcher on its base using a cooking blender and pour the milk. Next, add the cream cheese, pudding mix, sugar, and bananas foster.
Secure the lid until you hear a beep, press the frozen dessert button, and let the blender do its work.
Once the blender is complete, pour the mix into deli-style storage containers and allow the mixture to freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
