About:

Dive into the indulgent world of our Bananatella Ice Cream recipe, a luxurious blend of ripe bananas and creamy Nutella swirls set in a rich vanilla-cinnamon ice cream base. This recipe offers a tropical twist on traditional ice cream flavors, combining the natural sweetness of bananas with the decadent hazelnut-chocolate goodness of Nutella. Perfect for those seeking a gourmet homemade dessert experience.

1. Creating the Banana Ice Cream Base:

Begin by blending milk and skim milk powder together to create a smooth, creamy foundation. Add cane sugar for sweetness, a touch of vanilla extract, and one teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm, aromatic flavor profile. Incorporate ripe bananas into the mixture, blending until completely smooth. The ripe bananas impart a rich, tropical flavor and contribute to the ice cream’s creamy texture.

2. Incorporating the Cream:

Gently stir in cream into the banana mixture. This step introduces a luxurious richness to the ice cream, ensuring a velvety smooth texture in the final product. Incorporate an ice cream stabilizer mix during this step to enhance its consistency and shelf life.

3. Churning to Perfection:

Pour the prepared mixture into your ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churning aerates the mixture, transforming it into a creamy, soft-serve consistency characteristic of high-quality homemade ice cream.

4. Preparing the Nutella Swirl:

For the Nutella swirl, whisk together Nutella with cream until the mixture reaches a pourable consistency, similar to honey. This hazelnut-chocolate swirl will add a rich, indulgent layer to the ice cream, creating a delightful contrast with the tropical banana base.

5. Adding the Nutella Swirl:

Once the ice cream is churned, gently fold in spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture. Use a lifting and spinning motion to incorporate the swirls without overmixing, ensuring distinct ribbons of Nutella throughout the ice cream.

6. Freezing to Desired Consistency:

Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze until it reaches your preferred consistency. The result is a creamy, dreamy Bananatella Ice Cream with rich swirls of Nutella, ready to be enjoyed.
