Quick Walk Through: Baileys Chocolate Ice Cream
Why You'll Love This Ice Cream
I've made ice cream before, but it never froze well. Grainy, crystallized ice cream is no fun for anybody. And that's the biggest problem with making ice cream at home. But this Baileys Chocolate Ice Cream isn't like that at all. The ice cream is creamy, easily scoopable without any crystals and the best part - it's extra chocolatey! There is definitely a hit from the Baileys and somehow the bananas elevate the chocolate flavor. Don't get worried because I said bananas. Trust me, you won't taste them.

Hi Richa,
This was a lovely recipe. It was so creamy and delicious. My husband doesn't like the banana taste, is there anything I can substitute with.
Love
Smit
Richa says
Hey Smit, you can increase the amount of chocolate a little to mask the banana flavour. I wouldn't recommend leaving the banana out, because it adds a lot of creaminess to the ice cream.
Ruchi says
What can I replace banana with? Thank you
Richa says
Hey Ruchi, banana is a key ingredient in this recipe. It adds volume and creaminess to the ice cream so please don't replace it.
Meghana says
Recipe sounds very interesting. Going to try it soon! Can electric hand blender be used?
Richa says
Sure, but I would recommend using a regular blender/ food processor/ mixie to blend the bananas smoothly.
Chrissy says
Hi Richa,
I'm going to try this. I wanted to know I have a lot of chocolate powder left over at home. Can I use that? Also thinking of substituting Baileys for Kalhua. Should work right
Richa says
Yea that should totally work!
Richa Gupta says
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 🙂
Maria Jose says
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..
Richa Gupta says
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!
Maria Jose says
It says 1 banana stem, forgive me if it's a stupid question, but long/thick should the stem be?
Natasha (nuttie natters) says
Hi Richa - what if I left out the baileys would it be ok. My boy loves chocolate ice cream and would be so sad if I made one which he couldn’t have
Richa says
Hey Natasha, the alcohol keeps the ice cream from forming ice crystals and makes it more creamy. I would recommend increasing the banana to one and a half and skipping the Baileys which should help with the texture a bit. Let me know how it turns out!
Anna Verghese says
