Peel and slice the ripe bananas into thin rounds and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours or until they are completely solid.
In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana slices, vanilla extract, almond milk, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Add more almond milk if needed, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Once smooth, crumble the vegan chocolate cookies into bite-sized pieces.
Fold the crumbled cookies into the banana ice cream using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Freeze the ice cream for an additional 1-2 hours for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately as soft-serve.
Serve in bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade Vegan Banana Cookie Ice Cream!
