Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat until it almost reaches a simmer. Do not let it boil!
2
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until light and creamy.
3
Gradually, while whisking constantly, add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs and prevent them from curdling.
4
Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. It's ready when it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
5
Remove from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Let it cool completely.
6
Puree the bananas until smooth, then add them to the cooled ice cream base and mix well.
7
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8
When the ice cream is almost completely churned, add the finely chopped dark chocolate and ground walnuts, distributing them evenly.
9
Transfer the finished ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours to reach the desired consistency.
