Ninja Creami Steak 'n Shake Banana Shake
Description
Thick, creamy, and made with a real from-scratch ice cream base, this copycat Steak 'n Shake banana shake has that hand-dipped diner texture. Made in the Ninja Creami.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup), large very ripe
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix, optional
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk, for the milkshake cycle
- For serving: whipped cream, maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a small bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk the sugar into the whole milk until fully dissolved. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, salt, mashed banana, and pudding mix if using. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour into a Ninja Creami pint, staying below the MAX FILL line. Seal with the lid.
- Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours.
- Remove the lid, place the pint in the outer bowl, attach the paddle to the lid, secure the lid assembly, and lock it onto the motor base. Select ICE CREAM. The base will look crumbly — this is normal.
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of milk to the pint, reinstall it, and select MILKSHAKE.
- If it's thicker than you'd like, add another tablespoon of milk and RE-SPIN.
- Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream and a cherry, and serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
Equipment

Notes
- The 24-hour freeze is not optional.
- Use a banana with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor.
- Freeze the pint on a flat, level surface.
- Leftovers can be refrozen in the pint and revived with a RE-SPIN.
