Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 pound Medium bananas; unpeeled
  • 2 cup Half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1/8 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cup Heavy cream
Directions
  1. 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. 2
    Let bananas cool slightly, then peel and mash the flesh in a bowl until smooth.
  3. 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. 4
    Slowly pour in the heavy cream and half-and-half, stirring carefully to avoid splashing. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. 5
    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining 1 cup sugar until pale and thick.
  6. 6
    Temper the eggs by slowly pouring the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously.
  7. 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. 8
    Stir in the mashed bananas and chocolate chips.
  9. 9
    Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure smoothness.
  10. 10
    Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely cold.
  11. 11
    Pour the chilled base into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes.
  12. 12
    Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving for best texture.
