Banana Honey Ice Cream

There are just two ingredients in this ice cream: bananas and honey. Bananas are naturally rich in pectin, which makes them ideal for ice cream, acting as a built-in stabilizer and emulsifier. When blended, these pectins form long chains that inhibit ice crystal growth, resulting in a smooth, thick, and scoopable custard-like texture without dairy or high fat.
