Banana Pudding Ice Cream
Posted on 30 June 2008 by joy
Banana pudding is summer comfort on a spoon. With layers of sweet pudding, whipped cream, fresh banana slices and vanilla wafers, if reminds me of sitting on the back porch with friends on a summer evening after a big meal. It’s perfectly sweet and always comforting.
I decided to throw all the goodness of banana pudding into my ice cream maker. I’ll admit, I did feel a lot like Ben and Jerry throwing this dessert together. But when all was said and done, it was pretty close to ice cream genius.
Banana Pudding Ice Cream
adapted from recipezaar
4 ounces Cool Whip (1/2 of an 8ounce container)
7 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1/2 of a 14 ounce can)
scant 1/2 gallon milk (reserve about 1 cup for you morning cereal)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package Jello Banana Cream Instant Pudding
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 bananas (mashed)
1/2 box of vanilla wafers, crushed
In a bowl mix cool whip, condensed milk, banana pudding and about 1/2 of the half gallon of milk. Add chopped bananas and vanilla wafers.
Pour mixture into an ice cream maker. With machine on, pour in the rest of the half gallon of milk.
Stir the mixture and begin freezing according the manufacturers instructions. My ice cream machine took about 15 minutes to get to soft ice cream.
Remove very soft ice cream and place in a freezer friendly plastic container. Serve with slice bananas and vanilla wafers.
