In a large bowl, whisk together the whipping cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and yellow food coloring. Whisk this mixture for about a minute, until fully blended, and sugar has dissolved.
Place this mixture into your cold ice cream maker canister; freeze ice cream according to manufacturer's directions.
Refrigerate the chocolate chips while ice cream is freezing (this will help them from softening).
Mash the bananas with lemon juice in a small bowl, until smooth. (I use a fork to mash).
About 5 minutes before the ice cream is finished freezing, add the banana mixture, toasted pecans and chocolate chips to the ice cream. Continue freezing until done.
Ice cream can be eaten right away (soft style), OR place it in a covered container in your freezer for a couple hours to let it "ripen" and firm up more. Enjoy!
