Banana pudding is found on just about every BBQ joints’ menu. It is a southern staple. I also love a good banana cream pie…now lets do something fun and combine it with…
Ice cream, ice cream, and more ice cream! I cannot resist ice cream! I have to make a rule for myself to only enjoy it on the weekends, because I can seriously eat it every day.
Today I bring you Banana Pudding Ice Cream! It combines the yummy flavors of banana pudding with creamy sweet ice cream, topped with crunchy butter cookies. It makes the perfect summertime treat, especially after a good BBQ meal!
I love eating it as soon as it’s finished churning in the ice cream maker when it’s still a soft-serve-like texture. It can be frozen into a “harder” ice cream, but it will just need to sit out just a bit before serving to be able to scoop it out.
*Keep in mind each ice cream machine is different and the amount it can churn and times may vary. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your machine.
Ingredients:
1.5 cups heavy cream
2.5 cups whole milk
5.1 oz instant banana pudding mix
1 cup chopped or broken up crunchy butter cookies
2 medium bananas, cut into slices that have had a little bit of lemon juice squeezed onto the slices to help prevent browning.
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and pudding mix. Whisk until combined. Add to the ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions and churn until the manufacturer’s instructions indicate.
The banana slices and cookies can be folded in after the ice finishes churning.
The banana pudding ice cream can be served immediately or can be transferred to a freezer-safe container to store or harden further (I cannot advise on how long it can be stored in the freezer, as we ate ours within a few days, because it’s so good!). Recipe makes about 2 quarts (amount may vary some).
