Okay, so, today I wanted to try something new in the kitchen, and let me tell you, it turned out pretty awesome. I made this banana pudding ice cream using my Ninja Creami, and it’s a game changer. I’ve always been a huge fan of banana pudding – you know, that classic dessert that just feels like a hug in a bowl? So, I thought, why not turn that into ice cream?
First off, I grabbed some ripe bananas. They’re the star of the show here, so you want them nice and sweet. I mashed them up in a bowl, just like I was making regular banana pudding. Then, I got out my Ninja Creami. It’s not just any ice cream maker, it is a great machine. I’ve used it for a bunch of different recipes, but this was my first time trying something like this.
I mixed the mashed bananas with some other stuff – you know, the usual suspects like milk, a bit of sugar, and some vanilla extract. Some people online were talking about how banana pudding is a big deal, especially in the South, and how it’s like a tradition in some families. I get it, it’s comforting and pretty easy to make. Anyway, I poured this mix into the Creami container and popped it in the freezer.
- Mashed ripe bananas
- Mixed with milk, sugar, and vanilla extract
- Poured into Ninja Creami container
- Froze the mixture overnight
The waiting was the hardest part. It took a whole night for the mixture to freeze solid. But let me tell you, it was worth the wait. The next day, I took it out, let it thaw just a little, and then into the Ninja Creami it went. This machine, it’s kind of magical. It turned my frozen banana mix into this smooth, creamy ice cream.
I scooped it out, and it looked just like regular ice cream, but the taste? Oh boy, it was like eating banana pudding, but cold and creamy. I even crushed up some vanilla wafers on top, just to get that real banana pudding feel. And there you have it, banana pudding ice cream. It’s a fun twist on a classic, and honestly, pretty easy to make. Plus, it’s kind of cool to say you made ice cream, right?
The Result
The ice cream was a hit. Everyone who tried it loved it. It’s like, you get all the flavors of banana pudding, but in a cool, refreshing way. I saw some comments online about a famous bakery, Magnolia Bakery I think, being known for their banana pudding. I haven’t tried theirs, but I’d like to think my ice cream version would give them a run for their money! So, if you’ve got a Ninja Creami and some bananas, you’ve got to try this. It’s a fun little project, and the result is just delicious.
I saw online talking about banana pudding being a big deal in the South and a tradition for some families. That got me thinking, this ice cream could be a new tradition, right? It’s like taking something old and making it new again. Plus, it’s kind of cool to think about how food evolves. Like, who would’ve thought banana pudding could become ice cream? I guess that’s what I love about cooking – you can always try new things and surprise yourself.
Anyway, that’s my little kitchen adventure for today. I hope this inspires you to try making something new, too. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s just about having fun and seeing what happens. And hey, if you end up with some awesome banana pudding ice cream, that’s a pretty sweet bonus!
