This is the ice cream that I remember from summers spent at my grandparent’s house. The original recipe makes a huge amount, far too big for the average ice cream machine today.
Six Threes Ice Cream is such an easy recipe to remember; once you make it a couple times, it will be in your memory forever. (3) bananas, (3) oranges, (3) lemons, (3) cups of cream, (3) cups of milk, (3) cups of sugar = Six Threes. Easy as can be! I’ve adapted my grandmother’s recipe for a basic 1.5 quart ice cream maker and added the pinch of salt and the vanilla that it seems I just can’t skip. Family and friends all LOVE this ice cream. My youngest son cheers without fail every time we make this.

Shortcut Tip: Combine the banana, juices, sugar, salt, vanilla, and milk in the blender. Puree for just a few moments until combined. Add the cream and pulse to combine. Pour into the ice cream maker from the blender. {originally published 6/17/13 – recipe notes and photos updated 5/18/21}
