Layers of delicious banana bars, frosting, nilla wafers, ice cream, caramel and whip cream make up this super delicious Banana Caramel Ice Cream Cake.
Ok, I think I will officially dub this year the year of the cakes. I’ve been going crazy with them. Cant stop, wont stop attitude I guess. But I’m not complaining, I LOOOOOOOOOVE cake. Like seriously love it. I would buy those snack cakes at the stores and just sit there with a fork and eat it right out of the container for myself, in almost one sitting.
Yeah my addiction is super bad. But what do you do, I have a sweet tooth and I don’t care to knock it.
If you have been following me for some time, you will know that not only do I love cake, I love banana desserts too. If you are a lover of banana like me then you need to check out a few of my banana flavored recipes like these Banana Lofthouse Style Cookies and Banana Mug Cake. Those are just a few of my plethora of recipes, yeah can you say addict?
Now that summer is here, kids are out of school it is time for the nice cool treats! This Banana Caramel Ice Cream Cake is epic. Well at least that’s how I am going to choose to describe it!
First layer banana blondies, topped with vanilla caramel frosting, topped with nilla wafers, then vanilla ice cream, a healthy drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream and finally crushed nilla wafers finishes this baby off.
Do I have your mouth watering yet? Cuz I know this gal’s is!
We like to whip this up the night before we want to serve it. It ensures that everything is set and frozen back up. Good thing is with this, the blondies still stay soft but with a firmer texture so no biting into concrete when it comes time to serve!
I like to let mine sit a few minutes to melt just perfectly so I have a deliciously creamy bite each time. Drizzle with a little extra caramel sauce on top and you have yourself one delicious slice of Banana Caramel Ice Cream Cake!
