Blue Bell Banana Fudgesicle Recipes

BANANA POPSICLES

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a blender and puree on medium speed until completely smooth.
• Divide the mixture evenly between popsicle molds and insert popsicle sticks. Freeze for 4 to 5 hours before serving.

FUDGE POPSICLES (FUDGESICLES)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, and milk.
• Cook on medium until thick.
• Remove from heat and add vanilla and butter and stir until combined.
• Place in molds and freeze until firm.

FUDGE BARS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; whisk in remaining milk, cream, sugar, cocoa, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring constantly, and cook 1 minute.
• Transfer to a large liquid-measuring cup and stir in vanilla. Pour into 10 3-ounce ice-pop molds and insert ice-pop sticks. Freeze until pops are solid, about 6 hours (or up to 1 week). Just before serving, briefly run molds under hot water to release pops.

BANANA FUDGE POPS

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor in the order listed, and process until smooth.
• Transfer the mixture to popsicle molds, leaving about ½ inch of headspace to allow the popsicle to expand. Freeze the popsicles for several hours, or until frozen solid. (I use the Tovolo Star Ice Pop Molds, which I like because they're not too big and they have a handy base that fits well in the freezer.)
• To remove the frozen popsicles from their molds, leave them out on the counter for several minutes, or run them under lukewarm water to loosen.

BANANA PUDDING ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the half and half, brown sugar, white sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• Take saucepan off heat. Place eggs in a medium bowl. While whisking, gradually (to not curdle the eggs) add about half the sugar mixture to the eggs.
• Pour egg mixture into saucepan with the half and half that remained in the saucepan.
• Stir in cream.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. About 5 to 10 minutes.
• Take saucepan off heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour mixture through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• Once cooled, stir in mashed banana and pour into an ice cream maker. Use manufacturer's directions to freeze. Add Nilla wafers about 5 minutes before end of freezing time.
• If ice cream is too soft for your liking at this point, place in freezer for about 1 hour.
