Creamy, real banana ice cream studded with pieces of vanilla cookie and pockets of sweet whipped cream combine to make Banana Pudding Ice Cream. If you like banana pudding, you’ll go wild for this!

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Banana pudding is one of those desserts that has legions of devoted fans across generations for very good reason. Everyone who taste tested today’s ice cream agrees that it tastes exactly like a frozen banana pudding!

The combination of white and brown sugar with very ripe bananas gives the finished ice cream a mildly butterscotch like flavor that is hard to stop eating. There’s no fake banana in it either.

It’s pure, real banana goodness through and through. The key to success is to choose very ripe bananas (think banana bread level ripeness) for your ice cream base. They have the most pronounced banana flavor!

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

One little addition to your cream while whipping it can save you from this nightmare scenario. Stabilized whipped cream is really just slightly thickened whipped cream with an ingredient to help it hold onto the loft and air you whip into it.

Sweet and creamy with a gentle tang, buttermilk ice cream tastes like a more sophisticated, indulgent version of frozen yogurt. It may sound odd, but boy is it a delight!

Buttermilk Ice Cream

If you’re ever stuck for what to do with the rest of the buttermilk you used to make Buttermilk Syrup or Buttermilk Pancakes or even The Best Homemade Ranch Salad Dressing, look no further. This ice cream is going to be a revelation.

Scoop this into a bowl and serve alone or top with Berry Sauce for a warm weather treat that simply cannot be beat. It is a perfect base for any number of other toppings, too, like Salted Caramel Sauce.

Unique Ice Cream Flavors

Buttermilk ice cream may be more of a unique ice cream flavor concept than you’d usually make, but it is well worth the diversion from the standards. The same little tanginess and thick, silky texture that makes buttermilk work so well in baked goods gives vanilla ice cream a boost in the texture and flavor department.

Rich and creamy vanilla ice cream exploding with pieces of homemade chocolate chip cookies is what chocolate chip cookie ice cream is and what makes it so irresistible. This is an ice cream that will keep you coming back for more!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream

Not to be confused with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, this ice cream is made of chunks of homemade (or bakery-style) chocolate chip cookies tucked into creamy rich vanilla ice cream. I love this ice cream when made with these cookies or these cookies.

The salt is optional, but I love that little something extra that it adds. Feel free to skip it if salted chocolate isn’t your thing.

The key to the overall texture of the finished ice cream is simply that the cookies be chewy and not too crispy. We aren’t looking for a crunchy bite in the ice cream, we want chewiness to remain when they’re frozen! They should retain their signature texture and flavors when they have been layered into the ice cream.
