How to make banana ice cream without a maker
Follow recipe steps 1-7 below then, instead of adding to an ice cream maker, place in the freezer.
After 30 minutes remove from the freezer and beat until smooth. Return back to the freezer and repeat the beating process every 30 minutes.
Ideally, you’ll want to beat the ice cream three or more times.
If you enjoy your fruit-based ice creams then you might also consider making feijoa ice creamย which is one of my favourites or a refreshingย persimmon sorbet.

My First attempt at “Banana Ice Cream Recipe” in my new Breville Ice cream machine and what an amazing result! The caramelized bananas in this recipe make all the difference for a superior flavour, the texture is so creamy. I also added some Lintt chopped pink grapefruit dark chocolate for added flavour and texture.
I’m very happy with this recipe and can’t wait to try the raspberry and strawberry flavours and many more.
Hi Shirley, great to hear you enjoyed your banana ice cream!
I strongly recommend the strawberry too, especially if you have some nice in season fruit.
Enjoy your Breville,
Nate.
Hello, I’m a novice at ice creame making but certainly not at eating it. I got my Breville for the holidays and have made vanilla, cookies and cream ice cream and they were both well received by some friends and for a novice I think I did pretty good now the reason I am here is I want recipies. I need variety and that caramelized banana sounds awesome. Can someone help me with that.
Delicious recipe. I only had two bananas and 2 egg yolks and cut the sugar to half a cup brown in total and was a bit more generous with the butter. Flavour was great. I think my bananas were a bit underripe though as the there was a bit of graininess after blending them in. I will definitely try this again with riper bananas or maybe strain.
Hey Angus, yeah ripe bananas make a big difference.
