Easy Banana and Meringue Ice Cream

Ice cream is one of the world's greatest puddings... and so easy to make!   I adore  ice cream (almost as much as chocolate), and have lots of different recipes to share.   My top tip is to buy an ice cream maker.  They come in a whole range of prices, and you will get a lot of value out of it over the years.  I have a very simple one where you freeze the bowl before making the ice cream.  The bowl sits in my freezer, at the ready!

This is one of my favourite recipes for those times when you have overripe bananas.... and, if you don't add the meringues, it is made without eggs.   The lemon juice gives it a bit of a kick and offsets the sweet bananas.  It makes enough for 4.

Easy Banana and Meringue Ice Cream

7oz/200g  ripe bananas (rough total weight), peeled
3oz/75g caster sugar
juice of ½ lemon
½ pint/280ml of milk and cream mixed
handful of meringues, broken up

Puree the bananas with the sugar and lemon juice (quickest in a food processor).  Mix the puree with the milk and cream and churn in an ice cream maker for about 30-40 minutes until frozen.    Add broken meringues just before the end (if you put them in at the beginning, they disappear).
