03 - In a mixing bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and brown sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Reserve.
04 - When the ice cream base is fully frozen, place the pint in the Ninja Creami and process using the 'Ice Cream' setting.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The creamy texture is so spot-on, no one will believe it didn’t churn all day.
- It’s shockingly easy—most of the magic is just waiting for it to freeze while you dream about tomorrow’s treat.
02 -
- Once, I tried freezing at a slight angle and ended up with an uneven texture, so keep your pint level.
- Adding the graham crumble before spinning led to soggy bits—wait until right before serving to fold them in.
03 -
- Make sure bananas are very ripe—the kind you’d almost throw out gives the deepest flavor.
- Process and add the mix-ins separately for crisp, not soggy, crumbs in every bite.
