Banana Bread Ice Cream



Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
2 ripe bananas, slightly smashed
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar, superfine
1 tablespoon honey
pinch of salt
3 shortbread biscuits
1/3 cup raisins


To make ice cream...
In a sauce pan heat cream, milk, smashed bananas, and vanilla over low heat for 10 minutes, make sure the mixture doesn't boil. Remove from heat and set aside. In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale in color. Strain the milk mixture into a separate bowl to discard all the banana pieces. Next slowly poor the warm milk mixture into the bowl of eggs and sugar, continuously whisk so that the eggs don't scramble. Poor combined mixture back into saucepan and return to heat. Add honey and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously over medium-low heat with a wooden spoon for about 4 minutes or until thick and creamy. Place mixture in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes. Next churn the mixture in your ice cream machine following manufacturers directions, about 30 minutes. When ice cream is almost ready crumble in shortbread cookies and add in raisins. Continue churning until evenly mixed. Place ice cream in a freezable container and freeze for a few hours to firm.
