When I was a kid, making homemadeice creamwas never an option.
Except, I was totally wrong.
Each one required a completely different method, and the results genuinely surprised me.
I’m not going to even pretend to save the best for last.

I’ve been meaning to try this simple method fromFoodie Crushfor ages.
I chose vanilla, but you could easily do anything.
Instead of buying one, I jury-rigged my own and the results were…interesting.

What I did for this story was basically that, but on a larger scale.
I’m not going to sugar coat it: This recipe was hard!
The stirring never ended and I had to heat and cool the custard mixture, like, three times.
In the end, it tasted like legit, I-got-this-at-a-parlor ice cream, but at what cost?
The cost of my sanity, that’s what.
It was definitely very banana-y, but the texture was spot on.

It wassoeasy, I figured there had to be a catch.
The ice cream was virtually unscoopable.
I couldn’t do more than scrape up a few flakes to serve in a bowl.
