This summer we decided to play around a little more with the
new ice cream maker. We found some roasted, unsalted macadamia nuts
at our local nut shop, and they got us thinking:
Roasted banana, brown sugar and macadamia ice cream
8oz roasted, unsalted macadamia nuts
4 ripe bananas
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1.5 teaspoon lemon juice
few drops vanilla essence
1) Slice bananas in half, lengthwise, and place in 250 degree covered with the brown sugar. Bake for 15 minutes, flip over, and cook for 15 more (may take longer or shorter depending on the bananas you use)
2) Mash up / puree bananas, set aside. Remember to add the yummy sugar / banana syrup which is left on the baking pan.
3) In a bowl, heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla, bananas. Put in fridge until chilled.
4) Smash up macadamia nuts. Add to liquid just before you toss everything in the ice cream maker.
It’s very, very tasty. If you’re not a fan of very textured ice cream you may want to cut down the amount of nuts by about a third, and crush those nuts up pretty finely.
