Ninja Creami Banana Ice Cream

Prep Time15 minutes
Freeze Time1 day
Total Time1 day 15 minutes
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 pint, or 4 servings of ½ cup each

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, not overly ripe
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup milk (dairy or dairy free alternative)
  • 2 tbsps honey
  • ¼ cup sugar

Instructions

  • Place the 2 bananas in a mixing bowl and mash them up.
  • Add the heavy cream, milk, honey and sugar to the bananas and whisk until fully incorporated. If there’s a few banana chunks, that’s okay. 
  • Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container and freeze for 24 hours on a flat, even shelf.
  • After 24 hours, place the pint container into the paddle canister and process on the “ice cream” setting.
  • Serve the banana ice cream right away. You can garnish with some sliced bananas and waffle cone pieces. 

Notes

  • The bananas should not have lots of brown spots. They should look ripe and ready to eat, not the kind you would use for baking a banana bread.
  • Make sure the shelf is level so that the mixture freezes evenly to protect your machine.
  • To make this totally fairy free, you can use your favorite alternative or plant-based milk. You can find a heavy cream alternative as well in plant-based form. Oat milk will give you a nice creamy base. Coconut milk and soy milk are also good options.
  • You can add more honey in place of some of the sugar to make this lighter.
  • You can add mix-ins or toppings like chocolate chips or peanut butter to make this even more delicious.
