Serendipity ice cream: banana chocolate chili

recipe

Sometimes things just come together with a little serendipity. Like this ice cream. At the beginning of September TAZA Chocolate Mexicano was featured in the food52 shop. I am a big chocolate fan, so I thought to myself: I will have to find that someday. My parents returned from a trip to Seattle and Portland three days later with, coincidentally, some TAZA Guajillo Chili Chocolate Mexicano as a gift for me. A few days after that, Elana of elanaspantry posted her recipe for Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream and then a few days later there was a foodpickle question about overripe bananas. It is so humid here bananas ripen really quickly; I have been peeling and freezing ripe bananas in Ziploc bags for a while now. All of these elements percolated in my brain and this ice cream was the result. This reminds me of the chocolate dipped frozen bananas I enjoyed as a kid from a local ice cream shop - with a subtle spicy warmth at the end.
