PAULA DEAN VANILLA ICE CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Line the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish with cookies then add a layer of bananas over cookies (see note).
• Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large mixing bowl then beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Combine milk and pudding mix in a separate bowl then whisk for one minute or until smooth. Stir pudding mixture into cream cheese mixture then mix until completely incorporated.
• Add whipped topping to the mixture then fold together until incorporated.
• Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas then cover with remaining cookies. Cover and refrigerate before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, mix milk and cream. Warm until foam forms around the edges. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture gels slightly and coats the back of the spoon. If small egg lumps begin to show, remove from heat immediately.
• Pour the mixture through a sieve or fine strainer into a bowl. Cover, and chill for several hours or overnight.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a sealed container, and freeze until firm. If the gelato is too firm, place it in the refrigerator until it reaches the desired consistency.
