Chunky Recipe # Chunky Banana Nut Chip Ice Cream

Luscious copy of a very famous brand name ice cream! All my little monkeys love this one! I have tried this with aspartame sugar substitute (the blue packets) to lower the sugar, and no one could tell! For best results, transfer frozen mixture to a plastic freezer container and freeze for at least one hour before serving (if you can keep your kids out of it for that long!).

Ingredients

• 4 bananas, broken into chunks
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 ⅓ cups heavy cream, chilled
• ⅓ cup cold milk
• ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
• ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Cooking Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, combine bananas, lemon juice, vanilla, sugar, cream and milk. Puree until smooth. Transfer mixture to the freezer canister of an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. When ice cream begins to stiffen, add walnuts and chocolate chips.
