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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The next day, allow to thaw for about 10 minutes then scoop and serve with extra banana slices!
