This was fantastic...much like the famous brand. I reduced the sugar by half and used very ripe bananas, and it was plenty sweet with a very intense banana flavor. I also used a frozen bittersweet Lindt chocolate bar instead of the chips and added a hint a cinnamon to add a homemade touch. One trick to making ice cream work in an ice cream maker is to make sure both the canister and the paddle are very, very frozen. I usually freeze at least 2 days ahead of time and remove canister from freezer just before mixture is ready to pour into canister.

I have made this twice now, both times using dried peaches instead of the apricots. The second time, I substituted granny smith apple for the raisins -- fantastic!!
