This Buttermilk Banana Ice Cream Recipe is perfect for kiddos on a hot afternoon and with chocolate magic shell and hazelnut praline it becomes a delicious after dinner dessert for the whole family!
A delicious summer treat you should have in your freezer at all times!
Who doesn’t remember Chocolate Magic Shell from the 80′? I sure do and it is still one of the best things about eating ice cream, the tap with the spoon to crackle it up is such a mesmerizing moment, true magic!
It is almost ridiculous how easy it is to make your own, only two ingredients and you can use any kind of chocolate you want. My personal favorite is dark peppermint chocolate, it goes great with almost every ice cream flavor out there.
Summer is here so you should most definitely be eating all the ice cream you can, if not every day then at least few times a week.
If banana flavor isn’t your thing you should make my Cherry Ice Cream instead or maybe shift gears and go for the Rhubarb Popsicles!
