Bananas Foster Ice Cream


Homemade ice cream is one of the things I've always enjoyed making. I love all the strange flavors you can't get in the store. The texture and flavor is just so much better than anything else you can find and you always know exactly what's in it.

This ice cream recipe came from the Bi Rite Creamery recipe book, Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones. Bi Rite Creamery is an amazing ice cream shop in San Francisco and their banana ice cream was always one of my favorites. The line may be out the door, but it moves quickly and their flavors are so interesting and delicious. If you are in their area, I highly recommend checking them out.
