Mmmm mmmmm…. Yummy Homemade Strawberry Banana Ice Cream.

Summer is here and it’s time for homemade ice cream!

I’m not kidding when I say we looove homemade ice cream around here. Mmmmm mmmmm….

And I’m going to share with you one of our favorite recipes of strawberry banana ice cream. I love how fast this recipe is since it’s eggless!

Are you ready?

I’ve included two different recipe sizes here for you. One is a normal sized recipe, and the other is a full GALLON size recipe. Why, do you ask?

• The regular size recipe for your regular ice cream cravings.
• And the gallon size recipe is for when you want to take it on the go with you in your thermal cooker!

What’s a thermal cooker? This is a thermal cooker:

Have you ever wished you could take your homemade ice cream out with you on a summer adventure and enjoy perfectly scoopable ice cream a few hours later? Well, you can.

You see, we Johnsons we do this every year. We always make 2 huge batches of homemade ice cream every 4th of July and cart it around with us on our adventures in a thermal cooker and eat perfectly cold and scoopable ice cream in when it gets dark and we’re watching fireworks.

What in the world is a thermal cooker? And how do you keep ice cream cold in a thermal cooker?

I’ve got you covered.

This is likely a new concept to most people, and I’ve written about how you can transport your homemade ice cream around during the day and a few hours later, still have perfectly scoopable ice cream to enjoy.

Think of this-

• spending a day at the beach and have perfectly scoopable homemade ice cream.
• going on a campout, setting up your tent, and then having perfectly scoopable homemade ice cream to enjoy.
• going kayaking, taking two thermal cookers with you – one that is filled with your dinner, and the other that is filled with your delicious homemade strawberry banana ice cream that you can enjoy as soon as evening hits.
• Not kidding. Soooo good, and soooo cool!
