    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.

    Made this w/o cream, used soy creamer, b/c my granddaughter is allergic to, among other things, eggs and dairy. So many ice cream recipes out there use both of these ingredients she cannot eat. This filled the bill. I always am in the habit of freezing overripe bananas. I do not defrost them for this recipe, I simple nuke them a few minutes to remove the skin. Doesn't matter if it's somewhat frozen. I put all ingredients in a blender and whiz away and use it right away, no extra chilling necessary. Next time I will swirl chocolate sauce in it before freezing ice cream.

    My husband and I made this recipe yesterday and this is the best!!! We tried Alton's vanilla and cinnamon and sugar recipes as well. We only had 3 medium bananas so we added 3/4 cup of peanut butter to the mix and Wowee! Incredible !
