Request Creamy Banana Ice Cream from Real Bananas

We have two bananafanatics in the family and they purchase pints of local ice cream ($10/pint) that they rate as better than meh, but not exquisite. Both have late August birthdays and I'll make their favorite banana cake with cream cheese frosting and thought I'd make some banana ice cream to go along with it (already have a batch of lavender vanilla under construction for nonbananafanatics). Does anybody have a fabulous banana ice cream recipe? No nuts or graham crackers preferred. I have the Cuisinart ICE-21, if that matters. Thank you!

Personally I’d avoid blending. Bananas are starchy and I hate the gloopy texture you get. You can just infuse bananas in initially hot milk overnight then strain and carry on with any neutral base.
