Banana Split Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
This Banana Split Ice Cream Sandwich Cake is a fun twist on the classic banana split dessert. Ice Cream Sandwiches, bananas, caramel sauce, hot fudge, whipped cream, and cherries make up this super pretty ice cream dessert!
Servings: 12 Slices
Ingredients
Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
- 6 FatBoy Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches
- 6 FatBoy Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches
- 2 medium bananas, sliced (about 24 thick slices)
- 1/4-1/2 cup caramel sauce, use as much or as little as you desire
- 1/4-1/2 cup hot fudge sauce, use as much or as little as you desire
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- feel free to add in any other mix-ins you like, such as nuts, candies, etc.
Whipped Cream (or substitute frozen whipped topping, if you prefer)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional)
- Maraschino cherries
- caramel sauce
- fudge sauce
- toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
- extra banana slices
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl with a standing mixer or hand mixer, whip heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until it has thickened to the consistency of whipped cream.
- In an 8x11 baking dish*, place 6 FatBoy Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches side by side (there will be a little bit of extra room around the outside edge of the baking dish).
- Spread hot fudge over the tops of the sandwiches (it’s okay if it’s a little thick in places).
- Place sliced bananas on top (I did 4 slices per sandwich—see picture above for details).
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the bananas, and sprinkle toffee bits and chocolate chips on top.
- Spread about 1 cup of whipped cream over the tops of the bananas.
- Place the remaining 6 FatBoy Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches on top. Spread remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, etc. And drizzle with extra caramel sauce, if desired.
- Serve immediately, or chill in the freezer until ready to serve (see my note above in the post about assembling/serving this cake).
- When serving, if desired, add maraschino cherries, extra caramel and hot fudge, and/or any other toppings.
Notes
*You can use a different sized baking dish if you desire. In this particular baking dish, the ice cream sandwiches will not fit flush against the sides of the dish, making it easier to frost with whipped cream. You could even assemble and serve this cake on a cake stand; however, I liked the baking dish, as the sides helped to contain anything that began to melt.
