Homemade Creamy Banana Ice Cream
For this creamy banana ice cream, you use cream, sugar, a drop of lemon, and ripe bananas. And then you get this delicious scoopable, creamy ice cream. Such as the good quality ice cream that you buy in the supermarket. You don't even need an ice cream maker! Only the taste of this banana ice cream is so much better. You taste the pure banana, no extract. And that's why homemade ice cream is so much tastier than store-bought.

NOTES
1. - Bananas Use ripe bananas. As a result, you need less sugar to get a delicious sweet taste. Don't use more than three bananas. Otherwise, this will be at the expense of the airiness of your ice cream.
If you don't have enough overripe bananas, freeze them until use. You just peel off the skin and put them in a freezer bag. This way they will stay good for at least a month.
2. - Cream Whip the cream and then mix everything well. It provides fluffiness in this recipe. If you have a lactose allergy, you can use soy cream. Do not use light products for this ice cream.
3. - Sugar When you eat something that is very cold, it tastes different than at room temperature. That's tricky when you're making ice cream. You have to make it sweeter than your taste. So stick to this amount, make it and then (for the next time) adjust the sugar amount if necessary.
You can replace the sugar with honey or stevia. Note that sugar is more concentrated than honey. Let the mixture cool in the fridge and taste before freezing. It should taste fairly sweet (because freezing will reduce the sweet taste)
4. - Also delicious Add 3 tablespoons of finely chopped chocolate, a tablespoon of rum, or finely chopped walnuts for a delicious flavor accent.
5. - Storage This ice cream can be stored for up to 3 months in an airtight container in the freezer. If you get ice crystals on the ice, throw them away.
6. - Ice cream maker - If you want to use an ice cream maker that's also possible. Follow the manufacturers' instructions to prepare it. When the ice cream is frozen store it in a container in the freezer.
7. - Nutritional values I have assumed that you can fill 4 coupes with this. The nutritional values are then per coupe. If you eat just a scoop of ice cream, the nutritional values will be lower.
