So, so hot here and I really have a craving for some home made ice cream. I really enjoy making my own ice cream since I can control exactly what goes into the mix. Most ice creams today are loaded with sugar and other ingredients I can't enjoy.
A few weeks ago, I was watching Cook' Country and enjoyed their version of Banana Pudding. This is exactly what I wanted to make but instead of the cookie wafers and sliced bananas, I just wanted Banana Ice Cream.
This is the original recipe from Cook's Country and one of their tips was to roast the whole unpeeled bananas at 325F for twenty minutes. The bananas turn completely black and the roasting really enhances the banana flavor.

Add liquid mixture to food processor, Add peeled roasted bananas and process until smooth. Add lemon juice to prevent banana mixture from turning dark.
Pour in large bowl and cover with plastic on the pudding surface to prevent skin from forming. Let cool 45 minutes and proceed.

That was the basic recipe and I made adaptations for my banana custard to fit in my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. I am watching my sugars and substituted Splenda for the sugar required in the first recipe.
