You can see how to make banana ice cream on video here. Filmed in my kitchen at home, it doesn't get more 'homemade' than that!

Homemade Banana Gelato

Ingredients:
½ pint (250ml) whole milk
(soya milk can work just as well if you are catering for anyone lactose intolerant)
½ pint (250ml) water
4 oz (100g) caster sugar
3 ripe bananas
Juice of 1 fresh lemon

Method: Place the sugar and water into a saucepan and stir whilst heating the pan slowly. Bring up to boiling point and ensure the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.

In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the juice from the lemon. Stir in the milk and the cooled sugar/water syrup made a little earlier.

Transfer into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serves 6-8
