Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into small chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the ice cream will be.
- Place the banana chunks on a flat baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Freeze the banana pieces for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until they are completely solid.
- Remove the frozen banana chunks from the freezer and transfer them to the Ninja Creami pint container.
- Pour the heavy cream over the frozen banana chunks, ensuring they are well-covered.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the container, which will provide additional sweetness and creaminess.
- Measure and add the vanilla extract, which will enhance the overall flavor profile of the ice cream.
- Secure the lid tightly on the Ninja Creami pint container.
- Place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select the "Sweet Cream" or "Ice Cream" setting.
- Run the machine through its processing cycle. If the mixture is too dry, use the "Re-spin" function to achieve a smoother consistency.
- Once processed, use a spatula to transfer the ice cream to a serving container.
- For a firmer texture, place the ice cream in the freezer for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled and optionally garnish with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of caramel, or chopped nuts.
Tips
- Choose ultra-ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum natural sweetness
- Freeze banana chunks completely flat to ensure even freezing and smoother processing
- For extra richness, use full-fat heavy cream
- If the ice cream is too icy on first spin, don't worry - use the "Re-spin" function to achieve perfect creaminess
- Experiment with mix-ins like chocolate chips, caramel swirls, or chopped nuts for variety
- Store in an airtight container to maintain texture and prevent ice crystals
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal scoopability
