  • Caramelized Banana Ice Cream

    Creamy Caramelized Banana Ice Cream with Golden Brown Sugar Swirls

    1/3 cup brown sugar

    1 tablespoon dark rum or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

    2 cups heavy cream

    1 cup whole milk

    1/2 cup granulated sugar

    4 large egg yolks

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Optional: crushed candied pecans or caramel drizzle for topping

    Directions:

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook for 6–8 minutes until bananas are soft and caramelized. Stir in rum or vanilla and cook for 1 more minute. Let cool completely.
