Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Ice Cream Base:
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk (or sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix (optional, for extra creaminess)
For the Mix-Ins:
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers or pie crust pieces
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for toasting the crust)
Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base
Begin by mashing the ripe bananas in a bowl. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your ice cream will be! Add the heavy cream, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
If you’re using the instant vanilla pudding mix for extra creaminess, add it now. Stir everything until well combined.
Step 2: Freeze the Mixture
Pour the banana mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure it’s evenly spread. Seal the container with the lid and freeze for 24 hours.
Step 3: Spin in the Ninja Creami
After freezing, remove the pint container from the freezer and place it in your Ninja Creami machine.
Select the Ice Cream setting, and let the machine work its magic.
Step 4: Prepare the Pie Crust Mix-In
While the ice cream is being spun, crush your graham crackers or pie crust pieces.
Heat the melted butter in a small pan and toss the crumbs in it to toast them lightly for a few minutes. Once toasted, set the mixture aside to cool.
Step 5: Add the Pie Crust Mix-In
Once the ice cream is ready, gently fold in the toasted pie crust mix-in. You can also use the Ninja Creami Re-spin feature if needed to incorporate the crust evenly.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop your Ninja Creami Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream into bowls or cones and enjoy! For a final touch, add whipped cream or even more crushed graham crackers on top.
Tips for the Best Ninja Creami Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and richer your ice cream will taste.
- Don’t skip the instant vanilla pudding mix: It adds an extra creamy texture to the ice cream.
- Add your mix-ins after spinning: For the perfect banana cream pie experience, add the pie crust pieces at the end to avoid them turning soggy.
- Re-spin if needed: If your ice cream is too firm or icy after the first spin, simply use the Re-spin function on your Ninja Creami to achieve the perfect consistency.
How to Store Leftover Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream
- Store any leftover ice cream in the Ninja Creami pint container or an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
- Make sure to seal the lid tightly and keep the ice cream in the freezer for up to 1-2 weeks.
- If your ice cream becomes too hard after storing, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes and then use the Re-spin function to restore its creamy texture.
