In September 2016, we purchased a tissue cultured "Ice Cream" banana plant from Wellspring Gardens (Florida) and it arrived via post.
In this first tasting of our ice cream banana, I found that it was underwhelming. It did not have hints of vanilla that others have found; nor was it particularly amazing. The banana had subtle sweetness and flavor. The texture was denser than the supermarket variety but does eventually melt in your mouth for a custard like consistency.
If this is how an Ice Cream banana truly tastes, I would say pass it on it and plant something else. At the same time, if you have room and the resources, I always encourage that you give it a try for yourself.
We have another portion of the plant that is quite tall and I am looking forward to another batch of bananas to see if we can find ourselves bananas that taste like vanilla ice cream. (On the off chance that I did something wrong to this first batch.)
