Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
How to Make It:
1. Mash the Bananas
In a small mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. This will add natural sweetness and a creamy texture to your base.
2. Mix the Ice Cream Base
In a separate large bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
3. Fold It All Together
Gently fold the mashed bananas into the creamy caramel mixture. Stir just until everything is evenly combined—don’t overmix.
4. Churn
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. It should reach a soft-serve consistency in about 20–25 minutes.
5. Freeze
Transfer the churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until set and scoopable.

Serve in bowls or cones, drizzle with extra caramel if you’d like, and enjoy the banana-caramel magic!
