After coming across this recipe, decided to make a surprise batch for my boyfriend. He loved it!!! Kept asking how I managed the perfect ice-cream texture! If making this for the first time, be sure to read through several of the reviews. The minimal addition of salt, agave (I used half agave and half corn syrup and other ingredients truly makes this a great recipe!

This is by far the EASIEST ice cream recipe I ever made and it is GOOD.. I just used 1/4 cup of agave nectar instead of 3/4 cups of sugar, which was sweet enough for me and my husband. I also used 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream. I swirled in some chopped walnuts and caramel sauce at the point when the ice cream was almost done, which made it even more awesome!!

Very easy. After reading some of the reviews, I substituted half-and-half for all of the cream. Maybe lost some in taste, but the ice-cream is still smooth, and does not have that tongue-coating quality. Also, I froze peeled bananas (wrapped in plastic wrap individually, and then blended 1-1/2 cup HALF-AND-HALF, 6 (relatively small bananas, and a touch less then 1/2 cup SUGAR ( did not have corn syrup, pinch of salt, juice of 1/2 lemon (then I tasted it and added some more, forgot vanilla extract (added it after churning. I have to say, that before I added vanilla, it tasted sort of like baby food to me, but when I added VANILLA EXTRACT I really liked it. I also want to say, that peaople who changed the recipe they are reviewing don't have a right to give a bad review - maybe the recipe turned bad because of the change you made! I think it is a good idea to read reviews before making a recipe, and only make changes that turn the product more to your taste.

Bravo! Love the banana taste, and even better served with extra fresh bananas and or strawberries! My adaptations, which I'm so glad I did: I added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt just to cut the sweetness a little bit, and one 3.5 oz bar Lindt Bittersweet Dark Chocolate, chopped up. Perfect!

This ice cream froze beautifully in my KitchenAid attachment and has a wonderfully decadent texture and consistency, but I do agree with the other reviewers that because of the exclusive use of heavy cream, you do end up with the coated mouth sensation. Also, I may be at fault for this one since I used 4 bananas instead of 6, but the taste (although delicious! resembled a banana milkshake a little too much. I was expecting more of a pop from the super ripe bananas I've been defending from fruit flies over the past week. :(

Either way, it's still awesome! Has anyone tried cutting the cream with some milk yet? Do we have any positive experiences with that? I'd try it myself, but I'd need a lot more bananas and a time machine, lol.
