# What You Need:

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

# How to Make It:
01 - In a blender, combine mashed bananas, whole milk, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
02 - Transfer the blended mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Seal and freeze the container upright for at least 12 hours until solid.
03 - In a small mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
04 - After freezing, place the pint container into the Ninja Creami and process using the Ice Cream setting.
05 - After the first spin, create a 1-inch well in the center of the ice cream. Add the prepared graham cracker crumble.
06 - Reinsert the container and process using the Mix-In function until crumbs are evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop ice cream into bowls. Garnish with whipped cream and sliced bananas if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It turns humble bananas into a decadent dessert that feels straight from a nostalgic bakery case—no baking required.
- The rich, creamy base and crunchy graham swirl create a contrast that's pure fun in every bite.
02 -
- If you skip the overnight freeze, the texture ends up more like a milkshake than ice cream—patience pays off.
- Freezing the graham swirl for five minutes before adding makes sure it stays of crumbly texture instead of disappearing into the mix.
03 -
- I've learned to always freeze my pint upright—tilted containers lead to wonky spins every time.
- If you want ultra-smooth ice cream, make sure the bananas are blended completely before you pour the base into the pint.
