Long ago, in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=58062) thread, I promised **YWalker** that I’d try to get my mom’s recipe for banana and pecan ice cream. Well, I finally put the broad in a headlock and muscled it out of her. 🙂
_This_, my friends, is heaven in a pint of ice cream.
Note: there is absolutely _nothing_ healthy about this stuff. It’s all fat and sugar. You could change the recipe to make it more healthy, I suppose, but where’s the fun in that?
Make it in a standard ice cream churn (4 quarts, I believe.)
4 eggs,
1 cup DARK brown sugar,
1.5 quarts whole milk,
.5 pints whipping cream,
2 cans sweetened, condensed milk,
1 tbsp vanilla extract,
4 large, very ripe bananas,
4 ounces chopped pecans.
Combine eggs, cream, brown sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and mix until smooth.
Pour into churn.
Peel bananas and smoosh thoroughly. Don’t chop. G’wan! Get your hands dirty. It’s fun.
Add condensed milk, 'nanas, and pecans to churn.
Fill to 4 quart mark with whole milk and away we go!
For extra cardio-points, try a small dollop of milk chocolate syrup on top when it’s ready to eat.

I should point out that it is extraordinarily easy to modify this recipe to make any kind of ice cream your little heart desires, but this… **this** …

Damn you! I just gained 5 pounds reading that!
I must content myself with Banana Pecan Frozen Yogurt from my local Braum’s.
I am, however, saving that.

Pssst! Arden!
Make your own frozen yogurt! Use fresh bananas and pecans!
Just chuck it into a churn and freeze away.
Mmmmmm… 🙂

I’m not much of a chef but I’m definately cooking this one!

You tease.
See how you taunt me with your bananas and nuts.

:eek:
Why madame, I’m…well…ummm…
guilty of unwittingly using phallic imagery in MPSIMS, I guess.
Sounds about par for the course. 🙂

And of course, you can have a banana pecan Blizzard put together for you at your friendly neighbourhood Dairy Queen. _/shameless plug_
I’m sure it won’t taste half as good as Mamma’s recipe, however.

My hero! You did it! 😃😃😃
I was just thinking wistfully about that the other day, assuming that it was just something that wasn’t meant to be.
I’ll be heading to the beach with my family this weekend — seems like the perfect time to unleash it on them.
Thanks, Ogre. (And thanks to your Mom, too.)

Yayy!
I very conveniently happen to have a White Mountain hand cranked 4 quart churn sitting here…

**Ogre** , I would try it, but I hate… no **deplore** bananas with all the fiery passion of all seven hells. So, please don’t think less of me, but my position is, unfortunately, “Ewww… gross.”
Besides, I really am no fun. My favorite ice cream is vanilla. Just plain old vanilla… maybe some butterscotch on it… but that’s it. 🙂

Dang it dang it dang it dang it! I really can code… see:

**Ogre** , you were right. That was some INCREDIBLE ice cream. Your Mom is a genius.
And my kids think that the best part is the name ---- Ogre’s Mom’s Ice Cream.
Thanks!

Banana nut ice cream is my absolute favorite. I may have to invest in ice cream maker so I can make this recipe. Yummers!

[Homer]mmmmmmmm, Braum’s[/Homer]
Excuse me while I run down to Braum’s for half gallon of Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream and a steak sandwich, french fries, and a 24 ounce peppermint malt.

Excellent! I’m glad you and the kids enjoyed it. I’ve been grinning since I saw your post about the name of the ice cream. How fitting that somebody besides my family should remember her for it. 🙂
I’m sure she’ll be tickled pink.

Banana and nuts 'scream! MMmmmmmmmMMMMmmmmmm…
Now that is soooooooo tempting, my dear **Ogre**. Too tempting. How could you do this to me? I will have to dig out my 'scream maker and whip this one up soon. And I just adore the inadvertent \ phallic reference. As if any of us females would have missed that, especially from you. 😉
