Banana Pudding Ice Cream tastes like a delicious old-fashioned creamy treat with real banana flavor and wonderful pieces of Nilla wafers mixed in.
I did it! I finally bought an ice cream machine after wanting one for years. After seeing so many yummy ice cream recipes on other blogs, I couldn’t stand it anymore. And oh boy and I going to have fun with it. I got the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker and it was easy to use and reasonably priced.
For my first ice cream I tried a Banana Pudding Ice Cream recipe from allrecipes.com. We all know what a banana pudding lover I am. I make Banana Pudding Cupcakes, Banana Pudding Bars, pancakes, and Banana Pudding Cake. You can never have too much banana pudding in your life!
This ice cream was amazing and really did taste like banana pudding. With 2 whole bananas mixed in, it has plenty of real banana flavor. The texture of the ice cream if thick and creamy and the bits of vanilla wafer are my favorite, of course.
My ice cream was still very soft after the amount of time the ice cream maker suggested churning it. I would have gladly eaten it that way, but I placed it in the freezer for about an hour to harden up.
