Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and uniform.
-
Gradually whisk the sugar into the beaten eggs until fully dissolved.
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil vigorously).
-
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
-
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the whipping cream.
-
Place the custard base in the refrigerator and chill completely, about 1-2 hours.
-
While the base chills, place the peanut butter in a small bowl.
-
Stir about 1 cup of the chilled milk mixture into the peanut butter to create a smooth, liquid paste.
-
Pour the peanut butter mixture back into the remaining chilled custard base and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
-
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
While the ice cream churns, peel and mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl.
-
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the mashed bananas and stir to prevent browning.
-
When the ice cream is nearly frozen and thick, add the banana mixture to the churner.
-
Continue churning for another 5-10 minutes to incorporate the bananas evenly.
-
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
