    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 50 g sugar
    • A pinch of salt
    • 50 ml vegetable oil
    • 150 ml milk
    • 8 g vanilla sugar
    • 130 g flour
    • 20 g cocoa powder
    • 8 g baking powder

    Instructions

    Prepare the Pan

    1. Grease the Pan: Start by greasing a pan with 20 g of butter. Ensure the butter is spread evenly to prevent sticking.
    2. Sprinkle with Sugar: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the buttered surface. This creates a caramelized base for the bananas.

    Slice the Banana

    1. Cut the Banana: Slice the banana into even pieces and place them in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Make sure the slices are evenly distributed.

    Make the Batter

    1. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 50 g of sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 130 g of flour, 20 g of cocoa powder, and 8 g of baking powder. Ensure the mixture is free of lumps.

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    1. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the batter remains light and airy.

    Cook on the Stovetop

    1. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the banana slices in the prepared pan. Spread it out to cover the bananas completely.
    2. Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and place it over low heat. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning; adjust as necessary.

    Serving

    1. Cool Slightly: Allow the dessert to cool slightly in the pan before slicing.
    2. Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.

    Tips and Notes

    • Pan Size and Heat: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan and the heat of your stovetop. Adjust accordingly and keep an eye on the dessert as it cooks.
    • Topping Ideas: For added texture and flavor, consider topping the dessert with nuts, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

    1 cup whole milk
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    Mix-Ins:

    1/2 cup mini marshmallows
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (your choice)
    1/2 cup chocolate chips
    Instructions

    Prepare the Ice Cream Base:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until everything is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.

    Chill the Mixture:
    Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours. You want it to be nice and cold when it goes into the ice cream maker.

    Churn the Ice Cream:
    Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This should take around 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine.

    Add the Mix-Ins:
    In the last few minutes of churning, toss in the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips. Let the machine blend them in evenly.

    Freeze the Ice Cream:
    Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Seal it tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours (or longer) until it’s firm and scoopable.

    Serve and Enjoy:
    Scoop your creamy, indulgent ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the sweet satisfaction of homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream.

  • Homemade Pineapple Soft-Serve Ice Cream

    Homemade Pineapple Soft-Serve Ice Cream

    Ingredients:

    2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (fresh or store-bought).

    1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk.

    1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream.

    Equipment:Food processor.

    Freezer-safe container (optional).

    Instructions:

    Step 1

    If using fresh pineapple, core, peel, and cut it into 1-inch pieces.

    Step 2

    Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.

    Step 3

    Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    Step 4

    In a food processor, combine the frozen pineapple chunks, sweetened condensed milk, and chilled heavy whipping cream.

    Step 5

    Blend briefly to break up the pineapple, then continue blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Step 6

    This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 7

    For the best soft-serve texture, enjoy it right away!

    Step 8

    Serve in cones or bowls, and top with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, or a drizzle of pineapple juice.

    Adjust the Texture:For a slightly creamier consistency, let the frozen pineapple sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before processing.

    Storage:If you have leftovers, transfer the soft serve to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 hours. It will become more solid, so let it soften slightly at room temperature before scooping.

    Enjoy your homemade pineapple soft-serve ice cream, a delightful treat that brings a taste of the tropics to your home!

    Enjoy!
