This homemade recipe brings together the richness of creamy banana pudding and the coolness of ice cream, creating a dessert that's both comforting and refreshing. Whether you're a fan of classic banana desserts or looking for a new favorite, Trader Joy’s Banana Pudding Ice Cream is sure to captivate your taste buds with its smooth texture and delightful banana flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, Trader Joy’s chocolate chunks, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture thickens slightly. This should take about 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, or until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Spoon the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
Serve your homemade Trader Joy’s Banana Pudding Ice Cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy the creamy, banana-chocolate goodness!
