Caramelized Banana Ice Cream

Bananas, caramelized with some brown sugar, and then churned into ice cream with cashew milk. Feel free to substitute cream or milk for even more yumminess!

I'd bought some cashew milk, and we needed to find a delicious (or at least tolerable) way to use it. I thought back to the caramelized banana bread I'd made many moons ago, and wondered if the power of caramelized bananas could transform the cashew milk. (The ripe bananas sitting on the counter also contributed to my thought process.) Well, it turns out, the answer is a definite yes! This caramelized banana ice cream does take a bit longer than your usual ice cream since you're caramelizing the bananas, mixing everything together, and cooling before freezing. If you don't happen to have some cashew milk lying around, I'm betting you'd get an even yummier, creamier bowl of ice cream if you used cream instead.

What's your favorite way to enjoy caramelized bananas?
