Banana Split Ice Cream Recipe

Combine the bananas, sugar, cream, milk, and vanilla in the blender. Blend just until combined.

Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

When the ice cream has finished churning, transfer to a freezer-safe container, adding in the pineapple, cherries, peanuts, and chocolate chips with each scoop.

Stir gently to combine and mix throughout. Place the pan in the freezer until ready to serve.
