This Shit Is (Roasted) B.A.N.A.N.A.S.

Another ice cream from The Perfect Scoop. This roasted banana ice cream was super easy. However, I thought that it was a little too sweet. I didn't even use the ripest bananas and it was too sweet. Next time I will leave out the additional two tablespoons of white sugar and just stick with the brown sugar that the bananas get roasted with. Not even all that sugar got into the ice cream, a good amount of it burnt during the roasting. Another variation from the recipe was my omission of lemon juice, just because I didn't have any.

To start off I cut up three bananas and roasted them with some brown sugar and a little butter. Once the banana slices where finished cooking I put them into a blender along with the caramel that they were cooking in, being careful not to add the totally burnt bits. I blended the bananas and caramel and then added milk, vanilla, and salt. That's pretty much it. The mixture went into the fridgerator to cool and I went to my room to watch some shitty movie. When the movie was over and the ice cream mixture had cooled I poured the mixture into my machine and let it do its thing.

I gotta say, just tossing a bunch of shit into a blender isn't really that much fun. They all come out great, and it's good to get away from the egg heavy custards, but they take 5 minutes to make. I cook when I'm bored. And I need way more then 5 minutes distraction. So, I guess I have to find some more time consuming stuff.
