Ingredients
Directions
CARAMELIZED BANANAS
1
Heat the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to sizzle.
2
Slice the bananas 1/2 inch-thick and place in the hot butter. Sprinkle with dark brown sugar.
3
Cook the bananas on one side for 1-2 minutes until golden, then turn over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
4
Add the bourbon to the pan and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer everything to a blender and puree until smooth. Refrigerate the banana puree until needed.
FINISH WITH
5
In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, dark brown sugar, egg yolks, and coarse Kosher salt. Cook the mixture over medium heat, while constantly whisking, until steaming hot but not boiling.
6
Remove the mixture from the heat, pour through a mesh strainer, and discard any bits of cooked egg.
7
Whisk the vanilla extract and the chilled banana puree into the ice cream base. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8
Whip the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, then whisk the whipped cream into the chilled ice cream base.
9
Churn the ice cream in your ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions, until it reaches a thick, soft-serve consistency.
10
Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container, drizzle with toffee butter bourbon sauce, and use a spoon to swirl everything together, leaving visible streaks of sauce.
11
Freeze the ice cream for 6-8 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. Serve with more of the toffee butter bourbon sauce.
