    Recipe





    Making the Sauce:

    1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and butter; add
    sugar. Gradually add milk. Simmer, stirring frequently until thickened,
    about 6 minutes. Let cool.

    Assembling the Pie:

    1. Place chocolate ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about 15
    minutes. Peel and thinly slice 2 bananas. Arrange banana slices in the
    prepared piecrust. Spoon softened chocolate ice cream evenly over banana
    layer; top with 1/3 cup chocolate sauce. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

    2. Place strawberry ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about
    15 minutes. Spread strawberry ice cream on top of chocolate layer;
    sprinkle with 1/2 cup walnuts. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Place
    butter brickle ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about 15
    minutes. Spread butter brickle ice cream on top of walnuts; pour 1/3 cup
    chocolate sauce over top. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.

    3. Reheat remaining chocolate sauce until warm; drizzle on top of pie.

    4. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on high speed, beat
    cream and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form. Peel and slice
    remaining banana; dip in remaining walnuts. Garnish pie with whipped
    cream, banana and cherries.
