rec.food.recipes archive

SWEET CREAM BASE 1 
 2 large eggs
 3/4 cup sugar
 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
 1 cup milk
 Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2
 minutes.  Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue
 whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.  Pour in
 the cream and milk and whisk to blend.
 SWEET CREAM BASE 2
 2 cups heavy or whipping cream
 3/4 cup sugar
 2/3 cup half-and-half
 Pour the cream into a mixing bowl.  Whisk in the sugar, a little
 at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about
 1 minute more.  Pour in the half-and-half and whisk to blend.
 To turn either of these into a quart of banana ice cream,  
 you will need:
 2 overripe bananas
 juice of 1 lemon 
 Prepare the sweet cream base.  Transfer to an ice cream maker and
 freeze following the manufacturer's directions.  Mash the bananas
 and lemon juice together in a bowl, then whisk until smooth.  After
 the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add
 the banana mixture, then continue freezing until the ice cream is
 ready.
