Name: Winning name suggestion ... Banana Float (submitted by Patrick)
Ingredients: half and half, whole milk, sugar, rennet, ripe banana, birch (or root) beer extract.
The double blind fold test came back: Successful flavor! Good color, texture, taste, aroma!
Recipe: Makes 1/2 gallon
3 Junket (brand) rennet tablets
2 tablespoons cold water
3 cups of whole milk
2 cups of half and half (or heavy cream if you want to fatten your thighs ;)
1 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons birch or root beer extract
1 soft/ripe banana (no brown bruises please;)
Directions are here using the standard vanilla recipe .. of course substituting root beer for vanilla flavoring. Add a well smashed banana to the mixture during the last ten minutes of hand crank or electric freezing.
Inspiration: As a child I favored the banana and root beer freezer pops often eating one bite of banana followed by one bite of root beer. The mixture of flavors is quite good.

I never would have thought of that flavor combination but I can see how it would be good. I love rootbeer floats.
Sounds yummy. I am trying a new recipe in my ice cream freezer for Memorial day.
Now they say it is delicious and extremely easy...
7 cans red cream soda
1 can evaporated milk
run in ice cream freezer...everyone loves it!
This is from a twitter friend who highly recommends it! I'm not using red cream soda because I prefer no food coloring.
plain cream soda would be yummy! Worth a try!
okay okay!! your my friend forever... JUNKET!!! i tell people about one of my favorite childhood desserts.. JUNKET and they all look at me like i'm alien!! great recipe.. sounds delicious!!!
I just made a second batch of this ice cream ... and am suggesting to cut down on the root beer extract a bit .. I used 4 tsp. the first time around and it was a good steady flavor .. but this last time I think maybe most of the concentrate was settled at the bottom of the bottle .. and boy does it have a rootie zing .. try two teaspoons of extract before adding more to the mix.

Glad to see someone else uses Junket. You can make quite a lot of dishes with it .. puddings, cheeses, ice cream.
