Ingredients

3.4 oz banana pudding instant mix
8 oz cream cheese room temperature
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
2 ripe bananas sliced

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Add the instant banana pudding mix to the bowl and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Stir in the sliced bananas.
To assemble the ice cream, alternate layers of the banana pudding mixture, crushed vanilla wafers in a freezer-safe container.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 5-6 hours, or until firm.
Let the ice cream sit out for 5 - 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips and tricks

Use room-temperature cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. This will also help create a silky smooth texture.
Make stiff peaks: Whip the heavy cream until you achieve stiff peaks before folding it into the cream cheese mixture. This will result in a perfectly light and airy ice cream.
Fold gently: Remember to carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the airiness of the ice cream.
Use ripe bananas: For the sweetest, creamiest, most pronounced banana pudding flavor, you must use ripe and spotty bananas!
Make even layers: When you’re assembling the ice cream, make sure each layer is evenly distributed to create a well-balanced dessert.
Wait for it to freeze: I know it might be tempting to dig in early, but allowing the ice cream to freeze for at least 5 hours will result in a much firmer, more scoopable result.

What to do with leftovers

Leftover banana pudding no churn ice cream can be kept in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just allow it to soften for a couple of minutes before serving it again.
