Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 vanilla bean split, seeds scraped out
- 3 over ripe bananas the blacker the skin, the better!
- ¾ cup Peanut Butter Magic Shell
Instructions
- Freeze your ice cream maker's canister if required by manufacturer's instructions.
- In a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons of milk with cornstarch to make a slurry. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and salt. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and combined. Set aside.
- Combine the remaining milk, cream, sugar, corn syrup and vanilla seeds into a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat; boil for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Return to the pan to the heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- With hand mixer on medium speed, add the cream mixture in a steady stream until combined.
- Mash bananas (by hand for a chunkier mix - or in a blender for a smoother texture) and add banana puree to the cream mixture. Stir well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least two hours or overnight.
- Transfer the custard to the ice cream canister and churn the ice cream according to manufacturer's instructions.
- While ice cream is churning, heat the Peanut Butter Magic Shell until liquified, but not hot... Usually one to two 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between will do it.
- When ice cream is done, alternate spooning ice cream with peanut butter magic shell into a container, so that there are chunks and swirls of peanut butter throughout the ice cream. Freeze ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Ice cream lasts several weeks when well wrapped in a sealed container in the freezer.
