Light Vanilla Ice Cream

Light Banana Ice Cream with Peaches and Real Passionfruit Jelly

My dear husband loves everything that comes in a bottle, jar or tub. It has to be bought stuff, none of this home made rubbish.
Unfortunately, as with most things in our lives, I'm the complete opposite.So, everything I make is an imitation of a bought product - 'Rosella' Chutney, Tomato Sauce and Pickle, 'Peter's' Ice Cream, 'Cottees' Jam.
The normal ice cream that I make is a very creamy one with 8 egg yolks and 600ml of cream, making it very rich and nothing like Peter's Ice Cream. A search for a 'light' ice cream turned up one that used only 2 yolks and whole milk.
I doubled the recipe and churned half in my Kitchen Aid Ice Cream bowl and half in the Thermomix (after adding 2 bananas). There was absolutely no difference in texture. Both were a little icier than the rich, creamy ice cream, but the flavour was wonderful.
I've since read that adding a tsp of gelatine will make it creamier and less icy, so I've added that to the recipe.
The ice cream does go quite hard, so it's best to take it out 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Delicious with Real Jelly.
