Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC). Place unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until skins are blackened and soft.
  2. Let bananas cool slightly, then peel and mash the flesh in a bowl until smooth.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to bubble.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and half-and-half, stirring carefully to avoid splashing. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining 1 cup sugar until pale and thick.
  6. Temper the eggs by slowly pouring the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously.
  7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170ðF). Do not boil.
  8. Stir in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips.
  9. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure smoothness.
  10. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.
  11. Pour the chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
  12. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving for best texture.
