First of all, let me thank Barbara. She is a very sweet woman in one of the first ward's of my married life. I got this recipe from a Relief Society dinner. I have made the fudge sauce and used it as hot fudge for ice cream. Always a hit. We served this at our Leadership meeting this month.
3 large bananas
Vanilla Wafer Crumbs
1/2 gal ice cream (I usually use vanilla, but your choice)
1 c. chopped walnuts. Opt. (Obviously...we never add them)
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 can evaporated milk
1 pkg. chocolate chips
2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Whipped Cream or whipped topping
Line a 9X13 " pan with the crumbs. Slice bananas over the top of crumbs. Cover with ice cream cut in 1/2 " slices. Sprinkle with nuts if you are going to use them. Freeze until firm. In the meantime, melt butter and chocolate chips together. Add powdered sugar and milk. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. Add vanilla. Pour over ice cream and freeze until firm again. Add whipped stuff. Freeze again. This will keep several weeks in the freezer. Although we have never had it around long enough to see if that is true!
I am enjoying making treats to give away since I am no longer able to eat treats. It's still is very rewarding!
