Let's make a delicious roasted bananas with your Mom.

For the Roasted Bananas:

• 4 medium bananas, preferably somewhat speckled but not brown, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• Pinch of kosher salt

For the Roasted Banana Ice Cream:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 large egg yolks
• 1 recipe Roasted Bananas (recipe above)

Make the Roasted Bananas:

1. Preheat the oven to 400F; position the rack in the middle. In a bowl, toss the bananas, dark brown sugar, butter, and salt. Spread the ingredients on parchment-lined shallow baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until caramelized. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

Make the Roasted Banana Ice Cream:

1. Pour cream and milk into a bowl set over a pot of simmering water (this is acts as a double boiler). Don’t let the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Whisk in 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and stir until both are dissolved. Warm the mixture until you see steam rising from the top.
2. While the dairy mixture warms, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water and placing another bowl over it.
3.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks with remaining sugar until combined. Take a splash of the warm dairy mixture and add to the yolks while whisking. Continue to add the dairy mixture, bit by bit, until you’ve added about half of the mixture. This process is call tempering and ensures that the yolks are slowly brought to temperature to avoid cooking or scrambling them. Once tempered, transfer the yolk mixture to the bowl with the remaining dairy mixture in your double boiler. Set the heat to medium to medium-low (you need to monitor to see how your stove works best), and cook the custard, stirring constantly until steam begins to rise from the surface and the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Hold your spoon horizontally and run your finger through the custard. If the gap stays separated, the custard is ready to be cooled.
4. Strain custard into the bowl sitting over an ice bath and stir about 3-5 minutes or until the custard has cooled. Transfer custard to a quart-sized container, add the roasted bananas, and using an immersion blender, buzz the custard until fully combined. Cover custard, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight.
5. Pour custard into an ice cream maker and freeze until the texture resembles soft serve. Transfer ice cream back to its storage container and freeze to harden. Alternatively, you can serve it immediately—it will be the consistency of gelato.
