Chicken farm bakers' project: Banana and caramelized white chocolate freckles ice cream

Chicken farm bakers' project is coming back !!!!!!!!!! ^^, well I'm so happy to post the project again.

Last year all the members are busy and they kept skipping, haha, but this month we tried our best to make it again.

As I told you that the weather in Thailand is too hot, so we decided to make the ice cream. I love making ice cream, it's easy and there are a lot of flavors that you can make. This time, I combine both of my favorite flavors together, the banana and caramel. But it's not a simple caramel, it made from white chocolate ^^, by putting the white chocolate into the pan with coconut oil, place over heat and it will turn into delicious caramel freckles. 

The sweetness of the banana can be varied so you will need more or less of the sugar, and it's the most important point when you want to make delicious ice cream. 

I serve mine with caramelized banana, but you can serve it plain or eat it straight from the box, it will be delicious anyway, haha.
