Delicious Banana Split Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1 quart banana ice cream
  • 1 quart strawberry ice cream
  • 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
  • 1 cup sliced bananas
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the crust

    In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Make sure to pack the crust tightly for a sturdy base.
  2. Layer the ice creams

    Scoop the vanilla ice cream onto the crust and spread evenly. Freeze for 30 minutes.

    Let the ice cream soften slightly before spreading for easier layering.
  3. Add banana ice cream

    Spread the banana ice cream over the vanilla layer. Freeze for another 30 minutes.

    Ensure the layer is even for uniform slices.
  4. Top with strawberry ice cream

    Add the strawberry ice cream on top of the banana layer and freeze for 1 hour.

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
  5. Add toppings

    Drizzle chocolate fudge sauce over the top, then layer with sliced bananas, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries.

    Add toppings just before serving for the best texture.
