1. In a blender combine 1½ cups of whole milk, ¾ cups of skim milk powder, ¾ cups of organic cane sugar, 1½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1¼ teaspoons of ground cinnamon and 1 pound of ripe bananas and blend until smooth (Our kids take turns adding the ingredients). Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add 2 cups of heavy cream.

2. Transfer the base to an ice-cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Break approximately 25 vanilla wafer cookies into quarters. Transfer the ice cream into a storage container folding in the cookie pieces as you go. Serve immediately or harden in your freezer for 8 to 12 hours for a harder, more scoopable ice cream.

If you don't have an ice-cream maker, you can whip the ingredients in a blender or mixer and then freeze, or just pour it into Popsicle molds to make ice-cream pops instead.
