# What You’ll Need:
→ Ice Cream Base
01 - 2 ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 1 cup whole milk
03 - 3/4 cup heavy cream
04 - 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1 pinch salt

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar

# Cooking Steps:
01 - Combine mashed bananas, whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth.
02 - Pour the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Seal tightly and freeze upright for at least 12 hours or overnight.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
04 - Once the base is fully frozen, insert the container into the Ninja Creami machine and process using the 'Ice Cream' setting.
05 - After the initial spin, create a 1-inch well in the center of the ice cream. Add the graham cracker mixture into the well.
06 - Reinsert the pint into the Ninja Creami and run the 'Mix-In' function until the graham swirl is fully incorporated.
07 - Scoop the finished ice cream into serving bowls. Top with whipped cream and sliced bananas if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Ripe bananas give it a natural sweetness and real fruit flavor that store-bought pints can’t fake.
- The buttery graham cracker swirl is like finding the crust in every bite, and it always vanishes first in my house.
02 -
- Don’t skip the overnight freeze—once I got impatient and the texture was grainy instead of creamy.
- Letting the pint sit at room temperature for five minutes before processing makes all the difference in scoop-ability.
03 -
- Always taste your base before freezing—it should taste a little sweeter, since cold dulls flavors.
- Use overripe bananas for ultimate sweetness and an aromatic punch that tastes like the real pie.
