Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup crushed Nilla wafers (plus extra for topping)

  • 1/2 cup chopped banana slices (optional for texture)

How to Make No-Churn Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Step 1: Mash the Bananas

In a bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas until smooth. If you like small banana chunks in your ice cream, don’t mash them too much!

Step 2: Whip the Heavy Cream

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). This step is key to getting that light, fluffy ice cream texture.

Step 3: Mix the Base

In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and banana extract. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4: Fold & Add Mix-Ins

Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana mixture until smooth. Then, fold in the crushed Nilla wafers and chopped banana slices (if using).

Step 5: Freeze & Serve

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container. Sprinkle extra crushed Nilla wafers on top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for the creamiest texture. Serve and enjoy that rich, banana pudding goodness! 😋

Pro Tips for the Best Banana Pudding Ice Cream

✔ Use overripe bananas – The riper, the sweeter and more flavorful your ice cream will be.
✔ Let it freeze overnight – This gives the best texture and flavor.
✔ Add caramel drizzle – A little caramel takes this ice cream to the next level!
✔ Make it extra pudding-like – Swirl in prepared banana pudding before freezing for a super indulgent twist.
