Time 3h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

medium-size ripe bananas (about 2 pounds)
3/4 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum, plus 2 tablespoons (optional) to sprinkle on top at serving time
6 sprigs mint (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel the bananas and cut them crosswise into 1-inch slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a tray and put the tray in the freezer for at least 2 hours, until bananas are frozen.
  • Put half the frozen bananas in a food processor with half the sour cream, half the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the rum. Pulse the machine a few times, and then process the mixture for about 20 seconds, until smooth. Transfer to a cold bowl, and process the rest of the bananas, sour cream, sugar and a second tablespoon of rum. Return the ice cream to the freezer until serving time, at least one hour.
  • To serve, scoop the ice cream into six chilled glasses. Garnish each, if desired, with 1 teaspoon of rum and a sprig of mint.
