Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 very ripe bananas
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
2 cups whole milk
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, cook bananas and liqueur over low heat until falling apart, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and puree.
  • Bring milk to a simmer. Meanwhile, combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add half the milk to egg-yolk mixture and whisk until blended. Stir into remaining milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat a spoon.
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a strainer into a medium bowl set over an ice bath to chill.Stir in banana puree. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in a plastic container.
