Ingredients:

• One litre half cream
• 500g of sugar
• 2 pinches of salt
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• One litre double cream
• 1 can (or 5 ounces) evaporated milk
• 3 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 450g of mashed ripe bananas

Method

1. In a large saucepan, heat the half cream. Once it reaches 175°, add the salt and sugar and stir until it is dissolved.
2. Whisk a small amount of the hot mixture from the large saucepan into the eggs.
3. Add the egg mixture into the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over a low heat until the mixture reaches 160° and evenly coats the back of a metal spoon.
4. Remove the large saucepan from the heat and cool it quickly by placing the pan in a bowl of ice water. Stir the mixture continuously for around 2 and a half minutes. Stir in the double cream, evaporated milk and vanilla extract.
5. Press cling film onto the surface of the mixture and refrigerate overnight.
6. Stir in the mashed bananas. Pour the mixture into the cylinder of the ice cream freezer until it’s 2/3 full and refrigerate the remaining mixture until you are ready to freeze it. Once the ice cream is frozen, transfer it to a container and put it in the freezer. Freeze the ice cream for 3 hours before serving.
