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! The recipe looks to be very simple and easy to make. Sadly I’m allergic to Bananas, what’s the substitute I can use instead of Banana. Looking forward to your reply.
Hey, you can substitute bananas with 1/4 cup Condensed Milk
Hi,
I tried the recipe today and was confused whether to use 1 or 2 ripe frozen bananas as in the comments it said 1 banana as against the recipe so I went with 1 banana.Also in these times,I could only get my hands on Amul cream blue box.Hoping it turns out as delicious as it looks In the pictures.
Thanks
Rashmi
Hey Rashmi! When in doubt, follow the recipe. The recipe requires two bananas for a reason. They add creaminess to the ice cream, but you won’t be able to taste them.
Hi,
Do the bananas need to be frozen?
Also will it become too watery since the melted chocolate , cream and Baileys are all liquid and it’s only the bananas which is holding it together ?
Please help
Thanks,
Mayanka
Hey Mayanka. The bananas absolutely need to be frozen. Thats the only reason this will turn into ice cream. Its the frozen bananas that holds everything together and freezes them while blending.

Hi Richa,
Thank you for the lovely recipes, now I make homemade ice creams regularly without an ice cream maker!
My husband finds the quantity of baileys too much for the summer months in this recipe. Can you suggest a substitute which will reduce the alcohol content yet keep the texture? Thank you!
Hey Shubha, its difficult to give you a substitute here. Its the baileys that gives that nice creamy texture. You can try using another alcohol like vodka instead for a milder flavour
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
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.
What can I replace banana with? Thank you
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.
Recipe sounds very interesting. Going to try it soon! Can electric hand blender be used?
Sure, but I would recommend using a regular blender/ food processor/ mixie to blend the bananas smoothly.
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
Yea that should totally work!
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 🙂
