Silky banana custard with vanilla and graham cracker swirls, chilled and churned for rich, scoopable dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Ice Cream Base

01 - 2 ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 1 cup whole milk
03 - 3/4 cup heavy cream
04 - 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1 pinch salt

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar

11 - Whipped cream, for serving

# How to Cook:

01 - Combine mashed bananas, whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
02 - Transfer blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Seal tightly and freeze upright for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.
03 - Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a small bowl until the mixture resembles damp sand. Set aside.
04 - Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the 'Ice Cream' function according to manufacturer’s instructions.
05 - After the first spin, use a spoon to create a 1-inch well in the center of the ice cream and pour the graham cracker crumble into the well.
06 - Return the pint to the machine and process with the 'Mix-In' setting until the crumble is fully incorporated.
07 - Scoop the finished ice cream into bowls. Top with whipped cream and sliced bananas if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get all the blissful layers of banana cream pie without ever turning on the oven and it's genuinely fun to make.
  • The real banana base and buttery graham swirl catch every creamy-crunchy craving in a single dessert.
02 -
  • If you don't freeze the base solid, the texture will be more smoothie than scoopable ice cream (I learned this the soggy way).
  • The graham swirl only shines when added after the initial spin, not before freezing—it stays crunchy instead of getting soggy this way.
03 -
  • Let the base rest at room temp for five minutes before spinning for the creamiest scoops.
  • If your bananas aren't quite ripe, microwave them for thirty seconds to bring out their sweetness.
