ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 (3-inch size) cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon star anise pieces
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup coarsely mashed ripe banana
6 large egg yolks
directions
Stir together cream, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, nutmeg, cardamom, white pepper, and a pinch of salt in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream mixture, then add pod. Puree banana in a food processor, then whisk into cream mixture. Bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 30 minutes.
Return to a boil, uncovered. Meanwhile, whisk together yolks in a large metal bowl. Add boiling-hot cream mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, then pour into saucepan. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until custard is thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170 to 175 degrees F on thermometer (do not let boil). Remove from heat and force custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean metal bowl, discarding solids.
Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and let stand, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 30 minutes.
Freeze custard in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and harden in freezer, about 1 hour. Let soften in refrigerator 1 to 1 1/2 hours and then at room temperature 10 minutes.

This sounds like a good recipe, but I don't think the quantity it makes, one quart, can possibly be correct. From the list of ingredients, I would guess four quarts.
4 qts = 1 gallon, and this makes significantly less than a gallon.

If you like banana bread, you'll LOVE this ice cream. So incredibly good. It's a bit of work to mull the spices, etc but completely worth it. Texture and flavor both exceeded my expectations.
