Our family loves chunky monkey ice cream and I misplaced the recipe I used to use to make my banana ice cream before so we were anxious to try this recipe. I hesitated to use the lemon juice called for in the recipe because I was concerned it would give the ice cream a tart flavor. I added the lemon juice anyways because i thought it was a small enough amount that we wouldn't be able to taste it. I assumed it was just to keep the bananas from browning. I should have gone with my original instinct. The ice cream had a tartness to it that took away from the flavor of the banana. It did not have the flavor we were hoping for. We will try making the ice cream again, but next time without the addition of the lemon juice. I feel that since the bananas are frozen immediately after they are peeled and processed, they shouldn't brown but if they do, I'd rather have a little browning and be able to enjoy the flavor of the banana without the tartness. Thank you for a good base for banana ice cream
