My favorite childhood story includes my younger sister and ice cream. Every time mum and dad would take us out for ice cream, Pragya would finish hers at break-neck speed, while I would take my time savouring it. Once she was done, she would invariably turn towards me and demand that I share mine with her. A fight would start, and mum would have to intervene. I don’t remember who won in the end but then, that’s the thing with childhood memories. It doesn’t matter who won or lost. What matters is that they always make you smile.
Since then ice-cream has sort of become my comfort food because the memories make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It reminds me of the innocence of childhood, the twinkle in Pragya’s eye when she would start eyeing my cone, mum’s exasperation at our squabbles and dad’s amusement.
With the weather becoming warmer, I’ve been looking for an ice cream recipe that wouldn’t require a machine. I’ve made ice cream before, but it never froze well. Grainy, crystallized ice cream is no fun for anybody.
This recipe by David Lebovitz nailed it. The ice cream is creamy, mildly sweet and packs quite a punch! The best part? It makes just enough that you don’t have to feel guilty about eating it all!

So sorry about that Maria. This error may have happened when I migrated the blog a few months back. I do hope you try this recipe sometime 🙂
I was quite puzzled myself, but I went ahead and bought the stem without waiting for your reply 🙁 Haha! Shall make a thoran out of the stem..
Hey Maria, I’m so sorry but that was an error in the recipe. I meant one medium sized banana. I’ve corrected it now. Hope you try it!
It says 1 banana stem, forgive me if it’s a stupid question, but long/thick should the stem be?
Is there a print option to save the recipe?
