Banana Cream Pie No-Churn Ice Cream image

This no-churn ice cream doesn't require any cooking or special equipment. All you have to do is mash up some bananas and whip some heavy cream. The whipped cream mimics the air that's incorporated into traditional ice cream when it's churning in an ice cream machine. For the strongest flavor, use really, really ripe bananas; mushy, bruised ones with black peels will work well. Large crumbles of vanilla wafers stirred into the ice cream and sprinkled on top add crunch.

Time 10m

Yield About 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound very ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas), peeled
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups/600 milliliters heavy cream
25 vanilla wafer cookies (about 85 grams), broken into coarse pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, use a large fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas well. Add the condensed milk and mash again until the two are well combined. The mixture should be fairly smooth and only slightly lumpy.
  • Using a silicone spatula, stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whip attachment or a handheld mixer, whip the heavy cream to medium peaks. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the banana mixture and stir with the spatula to fully combine. (This lightens the mixture, making it easier to fold in the remaining whipped cream without losing too much aeration.)
  • Add the remaining whipped cream in 2 to 3 additions, folding gently just to combine. Add all but 3 tablespoons of the crumbled wafer cookies to the mixture and gently fold them in until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-by-9-inch pan and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved vanilla wafers evenly on top. Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap, gently pressing the wrap into the surface of the ice cream, and transfer to the freezer.
  • Freeze the mixture until firm, at least 6 hours. Before serving, let the ice cream soften at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping.

This ice cream is a great way to use up ripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so this recipe is a lifesaver.

I'm not a huge fan of banana flavored desserts, but this ice cream was surprisingly good. The banana flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

This ice cream is so good! It's the perfect balance of banana and cream, and the graham cracker crust is a nice touch.

I love how easy this recipe is. I don't have an ice cream maker, so it's great to find a no-churn recipe that still turns out creamy and delicious.
