Before You Begin

What Creami model do you have?

Directions

Makes: 16oz · Servings: 4

Blend bananas, oat milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Pro Tip

Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth. Any chunks will become icy spots.

Pour into Ninja Creami pint container.

Pro Tip

Fill to the max fill line but not above — overfilling can cause the lid to pop off during processing.

Freeze for 24 hours.

Pro Tip

Place on a flat, level surface in the coldest part of your freezer. Uneven freezing leads to inconsistent texture.

Process using the Ice Cream function.

Pro Tip

If the machine struggles or the pint spins freely, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before retrying.

Common Questions

How long does Vegan Banana Nice Cream last in the freezer?

Is Vegan Banana Nice Cream suitable for special diets?

Yes, this recipe is: Vegan, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free. Always check individual ingredient labels to confirm they meet your specific dietary requirements.

What if my ice cream comes out crumbly?

This is normal after the first spin. Select the Re-Spin function for a smoother, creamier result. If it's still crumbly after two re-spins, let the pint sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then try again.

How much extract should I use? Can I add more for stronger flavor?

Extracts are highly concentrated — a little goes a long way. Start with the amount listed and taste the base before freezing. You can always add more, but you can't remove it. Peppermint extract is especially potent — even 1/4 teaspoon extra can make it overpowering.
