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!

Homemade BYU Graham Canyon Ice Cream Copycat (Graham Central Station Ice Cream) [+Video]

Graham Canyon ice cream is a creamy graham cracker flavored ice cream with ribbons of graham cracker swirl and chunks of chocolate covered honeycomb bits. It is the best ice cream you’ll ever have!

Graham Canyon ice cream copycat is probably the greatest recipe copycat I’ve ever made and it works with both homemade and store-bought ice cream, though I will now, just as always, use Tillamook since it’s so easy.

Cade is insanely ice cream obsessed and since discovering Graham Canyon from the BYU Creamery or as Handel’s calls it, Graham Central Station, it has quickly risen to one of his most favorite flavors. Literally the most delicious ice cream ever and I think I’ve made every neighbor and friend in Davis County try it.

I decided I had to finally figure out a copycat version for Cade’s birthday this year. We used to be able to find graham canyon in a couple of different spots up here in Davis County, but I haven’t been able to find it in months. Since BYU is a little too far away for an ice cream run, I brought the BYU creamery into my kitchen! Best birthday ever for Cade this year!
