How to Make Banana Ice Cream Cake

  1. Crush 16 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
  2. Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan to form the crust.
  3. Arrange sliced bananas (about 3-4 ripe bananas) evenly over the crust.
  4. Freeze the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Spread 2 cups of strawberry ice cream evenly over the banana layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  6. Spread 1 cup of strawberry topping over the strawberry ice cream layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  7. Spread 2 cups of chocolate ice cream evenly over the strawberry layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  8. Spread 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce evenly over the chocolate ice cream layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  9. Spread 2 cups of vanilla ice cream evenly over the hot fudge layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight.
  10. One hour before serving, remove the cake from the freezer. Run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
  11. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Remove the pan. If using a cardboard bottom, remove it.
  12. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  13. While the cake is freezing, prepare the whipped cream: In a bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  14. Spread the whipped cream around the outer edge of the cake.
  15. Garnish the top with maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks (1/2 cup), and chopped walnuts (1/4 cup).
  16. Serve and enjoy your amazing Banana Ice Cream Cake!
