Homemade banana ice cream is a simple, creamy treat that’s naturally sweet and easy to customize. With just a handful of ingredients and the Ninja Creami, you’ll have a healthy, delicious dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas (approx. 8 oz) – Brown spots mean sweetness!
  • 1 cup 2% milk (or your favorite alternative: almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Deepens the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup – Naturally sweetens.

Optional: For extra creaminess, replace half the milk with heavy cream.

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base:
    • Peel the bananas and add them to the Ninja Creami pint container.
    • Pour in milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
    • Blend with an immersion blender (or mash the bananas well and whisk in the other ingredients). The mixture should be smooth and lump-free.
  2. Freeze:
    • Cover the pint container with its lid and freeze flat for 24 hours.
    • Tip: Label the container with the date for reference!
  3. Churn:
    • Take the pint out of the freezer, place it in the Ninja Creami, and use the “Lite Ice Cream” function.
    • If crumbly, re-spin 1–2 times until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve:
    • Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately! Add toppings like chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel if desired.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair the ice cream with warm brownies or cookies for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Serve in chilled bowls to prevent melting.

Tips & Tricks:

  • For a vegan option, use almond or oat milk and substitute maple syrup with agave.
  • Add flavor twists like cinnamon, peanut butter swirls, or chocolate chips before freezing.

Storage:

  • Keep leftovers in the pint container with the lid tightly sealed. Good for up to 1 month in the freezer.
  • To soften, let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature or re-spin in the Ninja Creami.
