Ninja Creami banana ice cream is easy to make with only five ingredients. It's full of banana flavor and uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
I love a good banana ice cream. This one is made with bananas and cottage cheese, making for a protein banana ice cream that is so delicious and easy to make in the Ninja Creami.
I added vanilla extract which was perfect, but if you want a chocolate version, add some cocoa powder instead! This Ninja Creami banana ice cream only has 5 ingredients and is the perfect use for ripe bananas to add that sweetness.
Ingredients
- Ripe bananas
- Cottage cheese
- Milk
- Sugar
- Vanilla extract
How to make Ninja Creami banana ice cream
Add all the ingredients to the blender
Blend until smooth, then pour into your Ninja Creami container. Mixture will be thick.
Freeze for at least 18 hours on a level surface in your freezer.
Process on the Ice Cream setting. You will likely need to add a splash of milk and respin.
How many times you respin is up to you depending on how soft you want your banana ice cream. You may only respin once or you may do it two or three times.
Top with anything you like (or add as a mix-in) and enjoy!
