Malted Banana Ice Cream

Malted Banana Ice Cream

Makes 1 quart

The star ingredient of the old-fashioned malted milk shake, malted milk powder is made from barley malt, wheat, and milk. Here it comes together with ripe bananas for a delightful treat. The riper the bananas, the deeper the banana flavor. Roasting the bananas in their own skin further intensifies their flavor.
  • 4 large, ripe unpeeled bananas
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk or low-fat kefir
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ⅓ cup malted milk powder
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 3 Tbs. maple syrup
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. salt

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Place unpeeled bananas in large baking dish, and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until blackened and soft. Set aside 20 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.

2. Remove and discard banana peels. Place bananas and any liquid from baking dish in blender along with remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Transfer to covered container, and refrigerate overnight.

3. Pour chilled ice cream base into ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.

You only need a few tablespoons of raw, unrefined coconut butter to replace the half & half.

To make a healthier version, substitute young coconut meat and coconut water for milk, Eliminate half & half - no one needs that fat content; you can add coconut butter to replace. Use Yacon powder instead of malted milk powder.

This is a GREAT recipe, and it was easy to make! I made it for a dinner party, and all the guests loved it. Yogurt makes a good substitute for the milk and half-and-half.
