Banana Ginger ice cream

Banana Ginger ice cream pairs two fruit flavors used in many Southeast Asian sweets and Latin American desserts. I combined the two flavors on a whim, which paid off enormously. At Ice Cream Jubilee's most recent tasting party, guests repeatedly named Banana Ginger as their new favorite flavor.

I decided to start making ice cream after entering an ice cream contest in Brooklyn. The winning flavor, Banana Bourbon Caramel, has become one of my top selling flavors. Banana and bourbon were such a perfect pairing, I thought I would never top it. Never say never -- Banana Ginger is a definite winner!

banana bourbon caramel

I debuted the Banana Bourbon Caramel ice cream flavor at a Mardi Gras party, and it was an instant hit!



I first tasted this flavor at a state fair-themed birthday party. The brown sugar gives this flavor a buttery flavor while the caramel ribbon provides surprising crunches. The banana flavor is familiar while the bourbon keeps you reaching for another scoop.



Sometimes I make my own caramel, but I was feeling lazy and melted childhood caramel cubes.



Let me know if you want to try this flavor!
