Banana Cream Pie Frozen Yogurt topped with crushed graham crackers is the perfect frozen treat to serve for all your summer occasions & parties.
I sure love making frozen treats this time of year, especially when it means we can have a little chill out time in the backyard to relax. I really love ice cream & frozen yogurt, so I’m swooning over this Banana Cream Pie Frozen Yogurt right now.
A while back my dear friend Kristen over at Dine and Dish posted this recipe for Old Fashioned Banana Pudding Homemade Ice Cream. It sounded delectable, as her recipes usually are. We made her recipe so many times. Then I got the idea to try the same flavors, only in a frozen yogurt version instead.
I’m always looking for an excuse to pull out the ice cream maker. When we lived in the desert of Nevada for 12 long years, I used my maker multiple times a week. We practically lived on frozen foods because you just can’t cool down. I mean, it wasn’t uncommon to have 100 days where we reached over 100 degrees each summer season. Frozen treats are a necessity.

Have you ever tried making your own frozen yogurt before? It is pretty simple really & the result is positively scrumptious.
I’m telling you, my friends, homemade frozen yogurt is AWESOME for an easy & delicious dessert.
Here are some commonly asked questions
What is Banana Cream Pie Frozen Yogurt?
This Banana Cream Pie Frozen Yogurt is a creamy banana flavored frozen yogurt with crumbled graham crackers on top to resemble the pie crust texture & flavor you would enjoy in a traditional banana cream pie. Add some whipped cream & chopped nuts or sprinkles to the top & this would be even better!
Can I make this with other flavors?
Yes, you can. Just pick whatever variety of pudding mix you wish & pair it with a yogurt flavor that would compliment that. We have made this frozen yogurt recipe so many different ways and every single time it is delicious.
What ice cream maker do you recommend for this recipe?
We have this ice cream maker here. It is an older version that we have had for many years & is still going strong.
How do you store this frozen yogurt recipe?
Obviously this recipe needs to be kept in the freezer. I really like to use these reusable containers that are perfect for treats like this.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Banana Cream Pie Frozen Yogurt?
- Combine everything except the bananas & graham crackers in a bowl & beat until well incorporated.
- Pour into electric ice cream maker & churn 10 minutes.
- While that is churning- slice your bananas & crumble your crackers into an airtight container.
- When your 10 min is up- pour into the same airtight container & fold in the bananas & crackers until well mixed.
- Freeze 4+ hours.
- Thaw approx 10 min before serving for easier scooping.

Do you recommend a certain type of ice cream scoop?
We have been using this scoop for many years. We love it because you can run it under hot water & the liquid inside heats up making the frozen yogurt or ice cream easy to scoop. That being said, we were recently given this scooper that makes releasing the scoops effortless – plus it’s really cool.
Do you recommend this as a gift for the neighbors?
This Banana Frozen Yogurt makes a fabulous gifts for all your friends & neighbors. We like to pick up these disposable containers for gift giving. This makes an excellent gift for the neighbors on a hot summer day. It is a great way to bring a little bundle of happiness when everyone is sweating out there. You could also just use the reuseable, containers & make that part of the gift.
Can I make this frozen yogurt without an ice cream maker?
I have never tried this. You could possibly try mixing all the ingredients & pouring into the container to freeze. You might want to stir it every hour or so as it thickens so that the added ingredients don’t sink to the bottom. If you try this, please let me know how it turned out.
Is frozen yogurt made with eggs?
Unlike many homemade ice cream recipes, this frozen yogurt recipe does not contain raw eggs, which is why I love it. I’m sure there may be some recipes out there that do call for eggs, but this one isn’t one of them.
What other mix-ins would you suggest?
Anything you would love to typically pair with banana would make a great addition. Added ingredients like coconut, blueberries, mini chocolate chips, walnuts, or peanut butter would all be so tasty mixed into this recipe.
Can I use banana flavored pudding instead?
Yes, absolutely, that would be delicious. If you really love a bold banana flavor – please give this a try.
Why do I have to use instant pudding mix?
We are only using the pudding mix (not making the pudding before adding it to the recipe) to thicken & flavor the yogurt mixture. Unfortunately, cook & serve pudding mixes don’t contain the right ingredients to properly thicken the frozen yogurt as they require the cooking process to thicken the pudding. The instant pudding mix works with cold ingredients & really is like its name – instant.
To make this recipe you will need…
- low fat milk
- fat-free sweetened condensed milk
- sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
- low-fat vanilla yogurt
- vanilla extract
- ripe bananas
- graham crackers

Gina, this looks FABulous. I have a favorite restaurant here in Costa Rica that makes banana nut ice cream that is downright delish, but have never tried to make a similar ice cream or yogurt at home, though many an ice cream has been whipped up here. Thanks for the how-to. Will be saving this to make soon! Found you from Live Laugh Rowe.
