    No-Churn Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

    Skip the ice cream machine and let your ripe bananas shine in this ridiculously easy No-Churn Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. It’s rich, creamy, and full of chocolatey swirls. And the best part? You only need a handful of ingredients and a freezer.

    You know those bananas that start going freckly on the counter? The ones you mean to turn into banana bread but never quite get around to? Yeah, those guys. Turns out, they’re perfect for this no-churn ice cream.

    This recipe was born during a fridge clean-out moment (you know the one), when I realized I had heavy cream, condensed milk, and two very soft bananas. Add chocolate chips, and bam - my favorite frozen dessert was born. No ice cream machine needed.

    It’s like a frozen banana bread and a pint of chocolate chip ice cream had a love child. And it is glorious.

    3 Reasons Why You’ll Love No-Churn Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

    #1: This No-Churn Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is so quick and easy to make! All you need is 5 ingredients and 15 minutes of hands-on time, and you've got a sweet treat to enjoy anytime.

    #2: Made with sweetened condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, and a hint of vanilla extract then layered with banana slices and chocolate chips, this no-churn ice cream is chunky and delicious.

    #3: It's ice cream that is actually good for you! Well, kind of. It is loaded with potassium, thanks to the bananas, high in both vitamin A and calcium, and comes in at under 500 calories per serving.

    Key Ingredients & Substitutions

    • Ripe Bananas – The spottier, the better! Overripe bananas add sweetness and flavor.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk – Gives that luscious, scoopable texture without churning.
    • Heavy Whipping Cream – Whip it to soft peaks to aerate the mixture (no ice crystals here).
    • Mini Chocolate Chips – I love the texture of minis, but regular or chunks work too. You could also use chopped dark chocolate or even swirl in Nutella or peanut butter if you're feeling extra.
    • Vanilla Extract – Optional, but adds depth and that classic ice cream vibe.

    How to Make No-Churn Banana Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Step-by-Step

    Step #1: With a mixer, beat heavy whipping cream until thick. Pour in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and fold in until smooth.
