A refreshing citrus-flavored ice cream with bananas and whipped cream, perfect for warm days and suitable for family gatherings or casual desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the ice cream mix according to the directions on the box.
- Add the squeezed oranges, lemons, and mashed bananas to the mix.
- Stir in the whipping cream and sugar until well combined.
- Use an ice cream maker to churn the mixture until frozen and creamy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh-squeezed juice from the oranges and lemons. You can substitute the bananas with ripe avocados for a creamier texture. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes until frozen, similar to making Brown Sugar Ice Cream. This method will help achieve a creamy consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Ann Trice Ice Cream in chilled bowls or cones for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with warm desserts like Gooey Butter or can be enjoyed alongside fresh fruit. Adding a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce enhances the flavor, making it a delightful ending to any meal or a fun summer treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Ann Trice Ice Cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
