There’s nothing quite like this Homemade Banana Ice Cream. It’s simply the best ice cream and my family constantly asks for it! My son gave me a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker for Christmas and it is so easy to have a fresh homemade treat with just a few ingredients.

Stir the cream and the vanilla into the milk mixture.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Scoop and enjoy!
This is such a great dessert! It doesn’t need toppings or additions because it’s so great on it’s own, but you can add your favorites to make it special! Try adding:
- Peanut Butter
- Oreos
- Vanilla Wafers
- Chocolate chips
- Chocolate fudge
- Caramel topping
- Toffee
- Fresh strawberries
- Candied pecans
This dessert is great any time of year. Great with strawberries on top for summer or caramel and pecans for fall. Once you make your own ice cream it is so hard to go back to store-bought.
