Banana Marlow
Banana marlow is a vintage recipe from the ’30s that creates anice-cream-like dessert with a wonderful creamy texture, using marshmallows in the base.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk I used skim
- 32 regular-sized marshmallows
- 1 banana mashed (I used an overly ripe one)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 10 ounces maraschino cherries chopped
- 1/2 cup peanuts chopped
Instructions
- Add the milk and marshmallows to a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring regularly to keep the milk from scalding, until the mixture is smooth.
- Remove it from the heat and let it set until it cools to about room temperature.
- Stir the banana, lemon juice and vanilla into the marshmallow mixture.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, and then fold it into the marshmallow mixture. Finish it off by folding in the cherries and peanuts, and spread the mixture into a nine-by-13-inch dish. Put the dish in the freezer and let freeze over night.
- Serve like you would any other ice cream, and enjoy.
