    chocolate cookies
    3 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 pint vanilla ice cream
    4 ripe medium bananas
    1 1/2 cup chocolate fudge sundae topping
    1 pint chocolate ice cream
    1 pint strawberry ice cream
    1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream
    1/4 cup chopped pecans
    maraschino cherries

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350F.

    In plastic bag, with rolling pin, finely crush cookies.

    In small bowl, with fork, stir cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened.

    With hand, press cookie mixture firmly onto bottom of 9-inch round springform pan.

    Bake at 350F until crust is slightly darker at edge, 12 to 14 minutes.

    Place crust in freezer until well chilled, about 30 minutes.

    Meanwhile, place vanilla ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about 30 minutes.

    With spatula, evenly spread vanilla ice cream over crust; cover and freeze until firm, about 45 minutes.

    Cut 3 bananas lengthwise in half.

    Spoon fudge sauce over vanilla ice cream; spread evenly and arrange bananas on top.

    Cover and freeze cake until fudge sauce is firm, about 1 hour.

    Meanwhile, place chocolate ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly, about 30 minutes.

    Evenly spread chocolate ice cream over fudge sauce and bananas.

    Cover and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, place strawberry ice cream in refrigerator to soften slightly.

    Spread strawberry ice cream evenly over chocolate ice cream.

    Cover and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.

    At serving time, in small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form with electric mixer at medium speed.

    Cut remaining banana on diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices.

    Dip small knife in hot water, shaking off excess; run knife around edge of pan to loosen cake.

    Remove side of pan; place cake on platter.

    With narrow metal spatula, mound whipped cream over top of cake.

    Arrange banana slices on whipped cream; sprinkle with pecans and top with cherries.

    Let stand about 10 minutes at room temperature for easier slicing.
