Banana Pudding Ice Cream Bars
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of vanilla wafer crumbs
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups of vanilla wafer crumbs with 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
- In a saucepan, combine 2 ripe mashed bananas, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the hot banana mixture. Then, return the egg mixture to the saucepan. Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled banana mixture and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Once the banana pudding ice cream bars are frozen, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
