Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Banana pudding meets ice cream with this simple and easy no churn banana pudding ice cream recipe! It’s so rich and creamy with all the sweet flavors of banana pudding, including whipped topping and vanilla wafers. 

  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Chill Time Overnight
  • Total Time Overnight
  • Yield 10 servings

Ingredients

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

  • 2 yellow (not ripe) bananas (plus more for topping)
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk *see notes for dairy free 
  • Good pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 drop yellow gel food coloring (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups (360g) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry nonfat milk powder (optional, for stability) 
  • 2 cups Nilla wafers (regular or gluten and dairy free), plus more for topping

Instructions

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

  1. In a food processor, blend the bananas until smooth. Then add in the sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla, and food coloring (if using) and blend until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and milk powder (if using) on high speed until you reach stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Careful not to over whip, as it should hold its shape but still remain smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour in half of the banana mixture and use a spatula to fold to combine. Then pour in the other half and use your hands to roughly crush in the 2 cups of Nilla wafers. Fold to combine. 
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9” pie dish (or anything of similar size) and top with additional crushed Nilla wafers. Cover in plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
  5. The next day, allow to thaw for about 10 minutes then scoop and serve with extra banana slices!

Equipment

Notes

DAIRY FREE – Use an 11 oz can of sweetened condensed coconut milk and swap the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and milk powder with a thawed 8 oz tub of plant-based whipped topping.
