Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a banana puree.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana puree with sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the banana mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Break the gluten-free cookies into small pieces and gently fold them into the ice cream mixture.
Pour the ice cream mixture into a 9x5 inch loaf pan or a similar freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream is firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
