Tips for making Ninja Creami Banana Pudding Ice Cream
Nilla wafers are vanilla-flavored, round, shortbread-like cookies. They are mild in flavor and go well with other sweeter treats.
Torani syrups come in all sorts of flavors. While they are available at most grocery stores, I have found the best variety of flavors online or in retail home stores like HomeGoods and Tj Maxx.
No. Premade pudding cannot be used for this recipe. The recipe takes the flavors of the pudding and incorporates it into the rest of the ingredients. Pre-made pudding would be too much volume for the container and the flavor would not be as intense.
Usually, if your ice cream comes out dry or crumbly it's due to one of the following reasons:
*Your freezer is too cold. Try to adjust your freezer to be a little warmer or let your ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before processing it.
*Your recipe does not have enough fat in it. Try adding in a little bit of a higher fat dairy product to your recipe next time.
*Your recipe may not have enough sugar in it. The less sugar in the recipe, the icier and crumblier the ice cream will be. Regular sugar, honey, or corn syrup can be used to increase the sugar content if desired.
To help resolve this issue, after processing, add 1 tablespoon of dairy and then reprocess.
It depends. If you are keeping the ice cream in the Ninja pint container with the lid sealed tightly and are freezing it in a cold freezer (between 9 degrees F and -7 degrees F), your ice cream will keep for several weeks, even months. However, if you transfer your ice cream to another container or freeze it in a freezer that is not quite as cold (or that is accessed a lot/door opened and closed often), the lifetime of your ice cream will decrease greatly to just a few days and you will likely end up with freezer-burned ice cream.

Ingredient substitutions and tips for making Ninja Creami Banana Pudding Ice Cream:
The full ingredient list is found at the bottom of the post in the recipe card.
Cream Cheese- Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature before using. Otherwise it is more likely to be clumpy. Low fat or regular can be used.
Vanilla Extract- Vanilla extract was used for the recipe, but you can use vanilla paste instead.
Heavy Cream- Sometimes heavy cream can leave a greasy or buttery feel to the back of the spoon. This can happen if the ice cream is overmixed. Essentially, the heavy cream turns to butter. To avoid this from happening, you can use ½ and ½ instead of the heavy cream.
Milk- Whole milk was used but any milk or non-dairy substitute can be used.
Banana Cream Instant Pudding- Make sure that you get the INSTANT pudding and not the cook and serve pudding.
Bananas- Use fresh bananas for this recipe. The bananas add a creaminess and additional sweetness to the recipe.
Nutmeg- Cinnamon, cloves and ginger are good substitutes.
Cinnamon- Nutmeg, cloves and ginger are good substitutes.
Nilla Wafers- You can use any one of your favorite cookies instead of Nilla Wafers.
